Ben Saladino's Display Tips

Email Ben Saladino

The first is a shelf I made from a diamond plate aluminum pick up bed rail cover.   I cut it in half, and hung it below my fire place mantel for more display room.   I found a bed rail single side at a truck pro shop that they made me deal on for $27.  They go for about $90+ a pair for new ones.

Another one is using a kitchen shelf organizer that I found at Bed, Bath, & Beyond.  They're 3 tiered clear acrylic and go for about $10. They're great for getting a better view of your trucks.  They are a great size for 1/64 scale Code 3 trucks and smaller.  They have wood ones as well if you need a different look.   I might have to make some mini wheel chocks<G> though for the top shelf, because my Matchbox size trucks keep rolling off towards the back if displayed at an angle.  Click here to see photo of finished product.
