Default RE: Storing 2m Pattern Models

Thanks for that TW. I could put up some shelving wide enough for the model to stand on its gear and wide enough for the stab to clear the wall but these would be big shelves. I was thinking of welding some steel tube at about 80 degrees to a flat steel strap which would screw to the wall. The tubes would have foam pipe insulation pushed over them. The model would lie on its side on the tubes with the wheels against the wall and the stab parallel to the wall. My worry with this system is does a composite fuz at normal room temperature "move" when side loaded? Logic tells me no but my anal nature makes me nervous of this.

Anyone but Gus Balfour have any comments?
