Gents, it has been a long time since I posted anything so this should make up for lost time. I decided to make a cabinet for all my models (my daughter calls them my tonka toys). The cabinet is made out of pine 3/4” boards with piano hinges on the doors. The size is 8’ long and 54” tall. I used 1/4” plexi glass for the doors and side windows. Each shelf is a different height by 1 to 2”. Then I used my harbor freight hvlp gun and sprayed it with 4 coats of high gloss polyurethane and sanded with 320 grit in between coats. I have plenty of room for more tonka toys. Lol. Well enjoy the pictures and tell me what you think.

Petey, I used 1/4” plexi glass. Much safer if the kids accidentally break the glass, If anything it will just crack.

Bloody nice job… BUT…
Iz your bimbolectomy scheduled? At the rate you are pushing out these models, do you expect to fit them into the cabinet.
You will need another x (the magic number) to fit them all in (much like illegal immigrants – OK, political correctness is not my shoe wear).
Wuz gonna tackle your CS (semi-censored… something to Ponder... osa... O you Bonanza fans) ) about the size (caninnet #01), but I love the lengthy shelves to accommodate any oversized protrusions. In the words of Quint... You’re gonna need a bigga house.
One destructive comment… A black cabinet would contrast the models betta….
PS. The “Open Enders” (views) are WOW… great design… Nearly as radical as Jean Shrimpton at the Melbourne Cup!
