Got some 1/43 Lancer Evolution rally cars, specifically I (top left), II (bottom left), III (middle top), IV (middle bottom), V (top right) and VIII (bottom right). I know the first 4 Evos are similar, but wanted them all. I already have a VI, VII, IX and X somewhere.
The III has to be my favorite from HPI:

Finally got around to digging the rest of my rally collection from storage... this is how I moved them since I got rid of all the boxes. Note to self (and other collectors): just keep the boxes even if you don't plan to sell. Moving loose models is a hassle.

Sorry in advance the picture is terrible, but trying to show the color of the model here as it is a very dark purple unless it's in good lighting: The model is 1/18 Porsche 911 (992) GT3 RS Weissach from Norev and the color is Viola Metallic.
Edit: Pairs up well with my Malachite Green non-Weissach version. Love the colors Norev has been offering.

Fellow dust haters!
Recently bought this custom design Besta IKEA unit for storage, but also to house my favourite large models.
My issue now is the lack of protection from dust - what could I put over the front of the shelves to keep the dust out, be able to see the models, and also not damage the IKEA unit?

Perhaps plexiglass/acrylic sheets? It's a solution I am looking into as well, but have only just experimented with it. I don't have any pictures at the moment, but I have an open bookshelf I also use as a display cabinet for Lego so long as I can keep the dust out.
I managed to find a few sheets of plexiglass (on Amazon) that had the same dimensions as the bookshelf openings, but I am sure they can be cut to the size you need. Mine are currently held in place by tape until I can think of a better way to keep the plexiglass flush with the shelf but also able to open it easily.

Why not buy some of the glass fronted doors that IKEA make to fit those units?

I like these, unfortunately that option never showed up when I was configuring that set up. Frustrating.
Its annoying they're such a small item they wont deliver it - and the closest IKEA to me is 1.5 hours away.
