The fun entertainment room just for kicks (and a bit more of my collection):
For scale, the TV is a 65". My wife gave me full reign of the basement decor, the only stipulation is that the toys cannot migrate upstairs (a few diecast cars did make it up the stairs...tehee...)

I've thought about hanging my ships from the ceiling, but haven't gone that route yet (I don't know if I want to want to put holes in my ceiling). Also, I'm curious/nosy, what's that glass cabinet built into the wall near the fireplace? That looks pretty cool. |

So these are my cabinets. My wife was nice enough to let them be in the main room of the house. They have tempered glass faces and locks. No dusting, and It's quite the conversation piece when we have visitors.
The TV is 55" for scale. These are custom cabinets designed by me. The back cabinet was made specifically for the USS Flag and other larger toys such as the Defiant, Terror Drome, The P.I.T., etc. this is 38" deep and can fit most of the jets also. The cabinets near the round window is 30" deep for some of the larger star wars playsets and the GI Joe headquareters fits in there. The one with the TV is 12" and fits most of the figures. I recommend getting those spice rack stands so you can see the figures in the back. I need to get some more of those. The slatwall on the back side of the cabinets allows for peghooks or other shelving could be installed. All of the shelves are adjustable. |

I think Nightrattler, after you figure out the best display options, you simply put your extra vehicles in a sturdy box, and send them to me.

I would actually live to see more of your house, love the wood beams and architecture. |

First of all, the house looks great. Your basement looks nicer than alot of people's main floor. Secondly, I dunno man, I think you and I are in exactly the same boat right now. I'm rapidly outgrowing (space-wise, not maturity-wise, lol) my toy room as well. I bought a giant set of muscle shelves (7ft x 4 ft x 2ft) earlier in the year, and was shocked at how quickly they fill up. I too, am blessed with a terrific wife who tolerates/supports my hobby run amok.
I've thought about hanging my ships from the ceiling, but haven't gone that route yet (I don't know if I want to want to put holes in my ceiling). Also, I'm curious/nosy, what's that glass cabinet built into the wall near the fireplace? That looks pretty cool. The build in glass case currently just has the receiver (that’s wired into surround sound speakers that sit flush in the ceiling) sitting in the bottom. I would like to get a solid wood shelf to go over that, then add 2 rows of glass shelves and some lighting for another display area. There is a lot of unused space in there that’s going to waste. The case with the solid door next to it has 17 million blankets for my wife as she is always cold. |
