The background images are just some pictures found online including the windows xp background.
Printed on plain paper and glued on the cardboard base with a glue stick.
My printer started to act up recently (cracked gear) so 2 boxes are blue masking tape and green tape like used to tape foam wings.

Got  a bunch of these boxes from  a work  project:  they had small pc mainboards in them.
Even the twisting wire are leftovers from the same project.
The "window" is just cut out.
These 5 boxes fit snug in another box and that makes for practical storage.

The cork covered plank was made as a building board (easy to pin down balsa in the cork tiles)
It just happens to just fit over my bath tub and the wall tiles make a nice even backround so that has become my photo "studio"

People who grew up with British TV know what i mean with "this is one made earlier"

that is Very Nice , i to like the display boxes you have made , has a special touch with the back ground My display case glasses *shelfs got broken and need new cut . Its nice you can store them and pull out easily to take a look or get a engine for service ! Good Job !

Looks great. At least you have engines worth displaying. Lol. I have only 1 that would be worth showing off....

With badly coroded engines i take them apart and clamp any round aluminium part that is not colored in a battery drill and polish them.
It only take a few seconds on low rpm to make those parts shine like a mirror again.
Washing them with warm water and hand soap after removen any left over polish.

Same old engine but with the "look shiny" effect looking better then new

Amazing! Well done sir!
