As you can see, The room is red. We just recently painted it in a cars theme.

Did you tie all your Cars in M2 cases down with the little wires they give you?

Looks great. Do you have issues with them wanting to roll off?

Looks great.

Thanks!

Do you have issues with them wanting to roll off?

No, when i built it I made the back of each shelf 1/16 of an inch lower than the front. This means that the Cars stay snug against the wall. Also the shelf is mounted very tightly to the wall with four l-brackets so there is no movement of the shelf at all.

Truth be told though, I wish I would have built it out if 1x4s. I used what I had lying around but the shelves could stand to be a little deeper...especially for the planes.

Nice shelves.

Very nicely done, gtommec3... it looks great... very good idea to have the back a little lower than the front as well... one day one of my display cases started to come loose from the wall... Cars were rolling forward... there were a few Cars that suffered paint chips... I know use poster putty under each Car to keep them in place... I do need to put the covers back on the display cases as well.
