Ohbejuan started a thread to discuss what to do with old models. I thought of a tangent discussion.
What do you do with old awards and trophies?
I'm not here to toot my own horn, or brag about anything. Please don't take this thread that way. I have been competing in model shows for 5 years now and I have earned a fair share of awards and trophies. And I am wondering what I should do with them. Many of the awards are 8x10 inch plaques. Some are gold, silver, or broze medals. And I have some rather large trophies.
My wife won't let me display them in main living spaces. They need to stay in my hobby room. But my hobby room is a 9x10 foot bedroom. And in that bedroom I have my workbench. Cabinets for raw materials, paints, and tools. A display case for finished models. And I have some photography on what free wall space I have left because I was a professional automotive photographer in my earlier years while I was in college.
What I am getting at is I don't have much space. I mean I could add a shelf higher up on the wall and reposition some photos. And the plaques could be hung on the wall. But where do I go from there? Do I just store them downstairs and not display them?
