Display cabinet - finally got one...
Posted: Sat Mar 31, 2012 8:31 am
Hello all,
Haven't posted in a long time...mainly because not much to post...ie not much in the way (for me at least) to buy - and also because my main focus has been 1:6 (like a lot of other collectors I am sure.) But finally did manage to take out some of my WWII stuff and put it on display.
(Moderators I couldn't find a topic for showing displays/collections, so please feel free to move this post there. Is there a sticky thread for it?)
Although I favor showing set ups in outdoor scenes (like other pics on my page), I thought I'd share what I came up with for my small display. I have a small den and most of what I have displayed is 1:6, but I decided to set aside one case to show some of my 1:18 stuff for a time being. I guess it sort of represents our niche that we are in right now... there is such a big market for 1:6 with Hot Toys and SST leading the way.
So if anyone wondered I got my cases at Ikea, this one is the Billy case (15" deep x 31.5" wide x 79.5" tall) with Inreda spotlights. All the dio accessories are from Build O Rama (who we all know kick arse btw)
Figures are mix of 21stC, Dragon, and BBi - vehicles are all 21st except for the german motorcycle
So this is my work in progress - things may be added, changed or rearranged...but this is what I got going now...
Thanks for looking!
