(1) Do not use the traditional lighting
Especially the spotlight that look like a bowl, a small 35 watt would release much heat. Shine directly on the car models, it would damage the paint on long-term. Recommend you to use energy-efficient lighting, small, little heat, each only about 7 watts, it save lots of electric too.

(2) Vacant your car models
This is very important, especially long-term placement of car models. Because if the four wheel are on the ground, all the pressure of the weight on wheels, over time, the wheel axis will produce distortion. Suggest that you use coins or pieces of wood or acrylic block, the car models slightly padded, to prevent this situation.


( Part B )
(3) Add on doors for your display cabinet
Many collectors like to display their models on their display cabinet after removing the models from the packing, this may seems very convenient, and nice. But there are some people whose display cabinet have no doors, so the models will have dust over time, sensible approach is to load your display cabinet with a door

(4) Avoiding small childrens to contact the models
Car models should be placed out of the reach of children, or your children will play it as bumper cars, it is really a pity, unless you are willing to do so.

Even if he didn't ask you to give him, just take out and play, you will also feel embarrassed to decline. The result of it will be your car models being crashed, it's very terrible. So, we recommend that you to put your car models in a environment that are furnished and elegant, it looks more valuable. In this way, it play an indirect role in the rejection. Other than that, your house also must prepare some toy cars that are ranged from RM10-20, in case the above method doesn't work, it'll do the job for them.


( Part C )
(6) Do not get too close to the window
Direct sunlight in summer are quite powerful, if you put near the window, the paint of your models will change and become lighter following the time.
