Nice work Al! Years ago an acquaintance of mine displayed all his built stuff hung nose down on the walls of his model room at around eye level. Obvious question, 'WHY?' but I didn't get your moms reply of 'because'. He found he had more room to display, had to dust much less frequently, mounted his 1/72nd PITTS S-2 on the back of his B-36 (talk about size matters!), and most importantly, displayed like that they were about 99+% cat proof since his 14 lb tub of lard tabby loved to jump up on things-
have a great Holiday Season
I've seen that done but still prefer them on the shelf. Maybe I could put a few up like that somewhere.
