Thunderbird Display Case

[uwe]

But I hope Fräulein Rommel doesn't get carried away in a customizing frenzy ... some things should never be ... surely, even for model train enthusiasts there must be unwritten laws of decorum and general good taste? 



Better stay on a historical course then, after all Pearl Harbor saw quite some battlesheeps sunk:

Do they have properly scaled sheep?

That's funny - I didn't know sheep had scales!

I'm off to the train shop today - I've printed your pics out to show the very straight  laced proprieter of the shop. Should be fun, I still have a bit of hangover from last nights Glenlivit

Just thought I'd share a little something that I ordered quite awhile back - End of August actually that arrived just before Christmas and as I've had a little extra time I've managed to get it installed in the  house. It's a custom made display case built to hold a Thunderbird, it was made by Playola of Texas to my specification( I sent them a tracing of a '76 for size). The finish is a medium oak with a dark blue velvet backing and it has a plexiglass hinged door with a magnetic center latch plus 2 small tab closures at the corners. Overall the case is very nicely constructed and it arrived in very good condition via Fedex Ground it easily holds any of my 'Birds including Bach NR's.
I have it mounted next to my dining table on the main floor of my house, which I have been remodeling over the course of the year past - almost done too, when it is I'll share some more photos.

Here it is with my white '89.


And with the door open to reduce some image glare.



 

Funny all I hear in my head is Tweety singing I'm Just A Bird In a Gilded Cage............................I wish i could hang my basses in the dinning room.

See that's the nice thing about being single - I only had to consult with myself about the merits of decorating my house with Thunderbirds............. It was a short debate and obviously I won
