Default shelf queen

I have a buddy overseas who has been in RC since 86's with me. Only difference, he didn't stop. He has a show/work room at his house. Strickly for RC and has a beautiful chromed bodied Clod sitting on his shelf, along with XO-1, kyosho Vanning, and a lunch box truck.

I don't have a room like he does, but I'm slowly finding myself doing this to my Slash 2wd that is on its way to becoming a GT on road rig and making a shelf in the garage for it. I'm buying aluminum/metal upgrades etc....just for show. I enjoy looking at it than driving it - just this particular RC. The rest I get them dirty.....

What is your sc shelf queen? And why is it...

I have a slash 4x4 that I beat the $hit out of, but I have a body that I reserve for it as a shelf queen Click the image to open in full size.
Then I have a BWD Whiplash 13.5" Foff truck that I put Vanquish currie axles on that I can't bring myself to scratch so it has become a shelf queen

Thanks!
I also started a scale scout crawler build last year that I never finished so it is also somewhat of a shelf queen. It sits on the hood of my 1:1 scout project that I never finishedClick the image to open in full size.

My shelf queen. Hpi cup racer (martini Porsche).
Has every hpi upgrade available. Everything is new and never ran. The cup racer has been discontinued for quite some time so they are becoming extremely hard to find.
