A total of three sections, it's useful for car models collector!
( Part A )
After buying car models, most people like to display the model in their display cabinet, this can often enjoy, but also to decorate the home. (Of course, there are people who keep it mint in box under the bed, ha ha) There are tips on display your model !
(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.
(5) Escape the bad luck of your models being stolen
People who collect car models, most of them scare inviting children as their guest, because if your friend's children loves the cars very much, you have to give them at least 1, then that time you'll probably feeling sad. 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.
(7) Keeping inside the box is not safe also
Many collectors like to keep their models inside the box because they feel it's safe, some due to spacing. It's actually not a good way to keep your models. According to some experienced car collectors, placing your models in the box, because no ventilation, it'll cause moisture accumulation.
