Assembled Lego Set problem?

[Mordep]

Hello,

I've a question for all of you,

Several of my sets are assembled and exposed around the house, like for example the 42009 or the 5571.

Before I've had problems with the 5571 because the weels broke in the axle joint only because of it weight and it was to much time exposed i think.

Anyone have his type of problems? Do you create supports to maintain the sets exposed or simply leave it there?

For example the 42009 also as huge weight and i'm becaming worried about happening the same thing to its weels.

Thanks

Pedro

As I keep all my models assembled I did not notice any cracks on the wheels - I have 42009 in display for almost 2 years and everything is ok (with no extra support), but on other models I made some non-lego support to put in the middle of the models because the beams bent under the weight. 8285 and 9397 have this problem.
