Boobytrap Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 There are 4 light strips in each cabinet, got the 2nd one done yesterday.. friendly piece of advise... put the lights in AS you build your Detolf.. trust me on this.. LOL. Where did you install each of them? It's hard to tell due to the reflections in the glass. Would you also happen to have a link to the lights? Sorry for all the questions but I've had a similar project on my mind. I was planning on using flexible LED strips down the sides with a remote control but the amount of work to get it to look nice has caused me to hesitate. I would love to replicate the results you have achieved. Quote
derex3592 Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) No problem..happy to help..The lights are from Ikea, I don't have a link, but I can post a pic of the box when I get home tonight. I use one strip per shelf under the top wooden shelf and then under the next 3 glass shelves. Be advised -- the included sticky strips don't hold well, especially on the wood top. I had to get some dual locking heavy duty velcro and cut small strips..so far they are holding Edited August 16, 2016 by derex3592 Quote

jvmacross Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 very nice, JV! Thanks! Getting kind of worried abour Bandai's lack of any more destroid announcements.... What scale is that? 1/100 from Bandai...made as accessories for Gundam....but are good stand-ins for Macross....would be nice if Bandai released some accessories for their HMR line... Quote
Jasonc Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 I love seeing the creativity in the displays. You guys are awesome. Quote
spanner Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 Thanks! Getting kind of worried abour Bandai's lack of any more destroid announcements.... Hope they still release the Spartan! Its probably the only other one in the line I'd actually buy.. Quote
edstuff Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 Thought we had similar thread before? ANyway, here's what's left Bandai 1990 VF-1S Takatoku Grenade Box Protector VF-1S DYRL VF-1S Strike Valkyrie DYRL Elintseeker Takatoku VF-1S Various 1/55 Oh man talk about chunky lovin.

spanner Posted September 5, 2016 Posted September 5, 2016 HEHEH you said it spanner! nice place you have there too! we use to have visible rafters like that on the ceiling in my old old old place which worked well for hanging my planes and star ships from.. my partner at the time liked it cos my stuff didn't occupy shelf and table space but she didn't like getting the ladder out to de-dust them every few weeks..
