Like most, I display my small collection in a glass display cabinet.

However, this isn't always suitable for tall rockets, so I now use acetate sheet for this. It can be easily wrapped around into a tube and with a stopper on the top keeps the dust away!

Good idea...I may try that with my 4D Saturn V, since a couple of posts/pics in that thread indicate that the model has no vertical supports.

For my rocket models I found a small bookcase and added glass doors or another option is the inexpensive glass display case from Ikea, which works nice as well.
