Its three and half years since I last posted pictures in this topic, so have started again to takes pictures of Box 3, and I have noticed whilst looking again at models which have perhaps been in collection for best part of 15-20 years how some have deteriated in that time ie wheel melt, disclouration,and boxes getting slightly tatty. They have been in loft most of time so I assume extreme's of temperature maybe the cause, and the are only stored in cardboard boxes, so think to invest in a plastic box with sealed lid of some kind. Anyone have any recommendations?

Anyway here is first from box 3;

9523 Ford TW20, wheels slightly melting and discoloured;

Heat is the main problem with storing the models.Top tip that i do with my models is i get some kitchen towels and put the towel around the model and put back in the box and this seems to stop the heat from reacting with the model. Also models that go inside the inserts of boxes put kitchen towels inside the insert and put your model back in and this seems to stop the model from reacting to the plastic insert.Hope this helps,Cheers Shaun. :)

9540 Massey Ferguson Manure Spreader, the belt has perished on this model so put it down to cool in loft and sitting in same position all of the time, will have to purchase another;
