That's a lot of props!
I like the display cases, I have been looking for similar to hang on the wall and display the nicest engines I have. I think I only have maybe 20 engines that are worth showing but it's good to have some extra space for new additions
I have thought about which way is the best to show engines, with or without the propellers. To mount a propeller (and to be able to turn it) the display stand needs to be rather tall. I like the plastic stands you use too.
Be sure to post a photo after you get your engines out of the plastic bags

Nice! That really is an inspiration. I have been looking for a suitable display case for a while, need to look harder now

Sorry Jose, by "case" I meant the cabinet or "vitrin" The use of the mineral stands is very innovative, and I am also thinking to get those. The alternative would bee to make the stands from wood. But the clear plastic ones you use are maybe nicer since they don't "steal the attention" from the engine itself.
For a cabinet I may use this:
http://www.ikea.com/fi/fi/catalog/products/00282250/
Most display cabinets I have seen for sale are either too deep, not suitable for wall mounting or they have doors with thick frames. The Ikea one is not too deep, but the shelf spacing is a bit too large so I'll need to get some more glass shelves and drill some holes but that's OK.

I like the display and, naturally, I homed in on the diesel engine at the bottom right.
Is that a dieselised Cox Conquest with a rear valve conversion?

By the way, How much do you think it is $ value of my COX home show window?
Re: American Micro Model airplanes engines ½ A Story .010 .020 .024 .035 .039 .049 .061 .074
Another nice display. I really like all these display cases and admire the work that goes into making stands to show off the engines.
One day, I might get around to building one!

I really enjoy your story. I'm sure I would enjoy it even more if I could read and understand Spanish! You have a whole lot of love for this and it shows. Thanks for sharing with us.
