PostSubject: Shelf space problems!!   Shelf space problems!! EmptyMon Nov 25, 2013 6:11 pm

Hi everyone,

I have a question about a problem i have,
wich i think is a problem to each of us: shelf space problems...

My shelves are as a full as possible. I don't have room for a new shelf or cabinet,
and i also don't have a place to storage some of my figures/animals.

if someone has an idea how to solve this, i'd like to hear..
Display/arrange them on a diffrent way? sell or trade items?? pale 

if some of you had or have the same problem, and know what to do about it,
I'd like to hear it..

Thank you, have a nice day.

Most of my animals are in parcels and only my personally treasures are in the shelves:D

Depending on how your animals are displayed at the moment, arranging them a different way will probably help. Try staggering them, if you haven't already. Larger models, like elephants, or animals that you have a lot of (if you display animals this way) should go on larger shelves, obviously. I find that when I have space problems, animals often fit together like a puzzle. :DI also use thick black foam board, and cut it into little squares, some 2"x2" and others 1 1/2"x1 1/2". Then I stack them up on the shelves and use them as risers to be sure all animal can be seen, and to save space. cheers

I agree with 4U, it's like a puzzle. It would be helpfull if you post a picture with your current display.
I think there was a topic about how to solve this problem scratch  Maybe you can use this topic

I would like to add that I suppose I have a hidden obsession with Schleich elephants that I did not know about Laughing as that shelf has gotten extremely crowded lately, and there aren't many missing! Shocked elephant Anyway, to get them all on the same shelf, their large ears "lock" together like a puzzle, as mentioned in my earlier post, enabling me to get them all stuffed in there. The calves go in between the legs of the adult elephants. Smile With this setup I still have space for the rest I am missing even on a very tiny shelf. cheers elephant

There is also the possibility to have a narrow shelf on the walls near the ceiling, going all the way round the room.
It should give a lot of shelf-place, but the models aren't easy to see, of course scratch

With sharks and other marine animals I would place them on top of upturned glasses or cups so everything else can be put around the bottom part. That's how I squeezed my whales in to my new glass cabinet Very Happy
