You likely have a good number of model cars in your home that might not receive the attention they deserve. You can't deny that a hobby like model cars can take up quite a bit of room, but there is nothing like admiring your collection in its totality. Each piece is unique and exquisite in its own right, and it makes sense you want them to have their proper place. Keep reading for some useful tips for displaying your model car collection.

Covered or Uncovered

With model cars, the urge to get up close and personal always exists. That may lead to us wanting to openly display our vehicles with no cover, which can create dust buildup. Of course, it is entirely up to you whether you want to display your cars with or without a cover—there is no wrong answer. However, consider if you want or can spare the time to frequently clean the dust that will build up if you display without a cover.

Aim for Harmony

As we know, no model car will look the exact same; there are a plethora of different makes, sizes, colors, and types. With so much variety, your collection can easily overwhelm the eyes. Try to imagine viewing your collection as though you were visiting a museum. When you are at a museum, there is harmony to the spacing that makes viewing the unique art a comfortable experience.

That is why you must factor in and aim for harmony between your cars, especially if you plan on displaying them all in one area. One useful tip for displaying your model car collection is to do so by certain colors, makes, or limited editions.

Pick an Area

With a hobby as vast as collecting model cars, you should have an area dedicated to it. This is a great idea because you will also be able to add memorabilia, décor, and posters relating to cars as well. With a specific area for displaying your cars, you can continue to work with the space, adding and rotating your favorite models.
