Anubis Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 Finally I have the stuff in my display cases and shelves the way I want them. All I need to do now is adjust some of the valk flight angles on the bookshelf a little, and attach the micro missles to the 1/48 Hikaru FP I have opened up. No pictures/wallscrolls on the wall yet either. Essentally done though. Someday when I have more space I'll buy a 3rd display case and spread out better, but for now this will more than suffice. Unfortunately after I buy the MG Freedom and build it and my HGUC GP03S (suit only) there will then be no more space in the gundam section, and if I get any more something will have to be put away, or go on top of the bookshelf or one of the cases. My family already told me before I had too much crap. Now they shook their heads quietly, but left me alone. Now the pics. Wide angle of cases Quote

connor99 Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 Very nice, ANUBIS, both the collection 'n da display cases! Got one question, though: did ya, by any chance, pick up the display cases from IKEA? Coz I think I might have seen that kind when I picked up mine. Quote
wolfx Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 Your 2 pillar things look crowded...looks like u gotta give me some of them. I was thinking of buying those stuff from IKEA but I don't really like the idea of stuff at legs level. You gotta crouch to look at them kinda thing. So I was thinking of buying a cabinet/shelf of sorts which you can hang on the wall with glass displays.....or if possible a glass box which can be hung on top of my monitor..... Quote
Anubis Posted July 13, 2004 Author Posted July 13, 2004 (edited) Yes, those are two Ingo display cases from Ikea. I thought about the Detolf (and like the general look of that all-glass case better), but the Ingo was cheaper, and had an extra shelf to work with, 5 vs the Detolf's 4. So the Ingo was the winner since I can only fit two display cases. Just put the "lower" priority items on the bottom and you get used to the level pretty quick. My only issue with the Ingo case is the wood bar that comes across the center shelf. If you're by the case you can see fine, but as you can see, depending on the angle you can't see CM Roy's head, or the Aile Strike's head. Getting used to it though. The shelf with the Aile Strike needs to be that height so I can make sure the Frredom will fit when the MG comes out. I was actually surprized that I fit all 5 Eva's in the Upper right. Crowded, but I like the effect. I kinda want the SOC 03 and 04 now to match the front 3. The die cast bug is biting me again, though I try to resist. Edited July 13, 2004 by Anubis Quote
wolfx Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 Yeah...that woodbar kinda bothers me. If only custom cabinets didn't cost so much. Quote
UN Spacy Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 Very nice collection adn setup you've got there Anubis. I also have an Ingo display case sitting in my room, and there's been an on-going war between my Yammie Strike VF-1S and Masterpiece Convoy for control of the top shelf (I'm pretty much out of room). I also picked up one of those nifty IKEA display lights, but been too lazy to do the necessary drill work to attach it securely. Great price. Nice case. Quote
Synch Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 (edited) god damn thats badass! I Love seeing other peoples toys you got some neat stuff I've never seen before! Deffinitly abunch I'd yoink from there! Too bad I was never really into macross stuff before... Still not really into it now buts its a toyline I admire! Edited July 13, 2004 by Synch Quote
bigkid24 Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 Nice collection. It makes me miss the days that I lived by myself where I could set up my stuff. My displays always look so crowded though because I try and cram everything in. Anubis, is that Misato on the hutch a statue? Quote
zeo-mare Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 nice collection, i cannot wait to see more of it. how much do those cases cost anyhow i would not mind getting one. also do you have to order these? I do not know where to get something like this from. thanks Chris Quote

That's the pre-painted 1/6 Misato Statue I got from Hobby Fan. Here's the thread from when I bought her. The Lacus statue I also got pre-painted from Hobby Fan. I was also quite excited to get the Darth Vader I hunted for online out of its box finally, and up top where he's supposed to be.. Edited July 13, 2004 by Anubis Quote
Synch Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 Ooo I see an escaflowne hidden down there I'm envious! Quote
fearyaks Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 Looks good. I need to get some cabinets for my stuff this month but I'd really like something that had more horizontal space for more interesting dioramas. Good prices too for those Ikea pieces. Keeps the dust off! Quote
gnollman Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 Sweet..... Someday, when I get some money, I'm getting the biggest display cases in history, man! And spend the rest of my time filling them.... Quote
Myriad Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 (edited) Those Cabinets are nice. I went the path of getting one through a store fixture store. Here is my one crowded 4ft by 6 ft cabinet. I need two more the rest of my TF's.One for Beast Wars, BM and RID and another for Armada, Energon and Universe This is a pic of all my G1, G2 and Machine Wars.

zeo-mare Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 ohhh that is very nice, how much did it cost and where did you get it from? chris Quote
Synch Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 Yea sliding glass doors is the way I'm gona go I'll probly just build one my self since I can't find any I like Quote
Myriad Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 Check around your town and see if there are any "Store Fixture" Stores. Here is a place that sells them. http://www.kc-store-fixtures.com/eco_wall_units.htm I do not know how good they are. You will probably get reamed for shipping online. That is why I say look around your area. The store I bought it from charged me 30$ to deliver it and place it right where I wanted it. Does anyone know if there are other types of IKEA ones in the store? The online selection seems a bit slim.. Quote
Anubis Posted July 15, 2004 Author Posted July 15, 2004 Better shots of the lower left shelves. The one I put was a little far. Seed shelf + GFF Ex-S Gundam. Space reserved for the MG Freedom. Quote
Synch Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 (edited) Vader is awsome! You should have it Vader VS escaflowne though just for laughs BTW Look the other way for a second would you? YOINK! What is that vader BTW? How hard is it to get/go for these days? Edited July 15, 2004 by Synch Quote

What is that vader BTW? How hard is it to get/go for these days? That is the Kotobukia 1/7 Pre-painted Soft Vinyl Darth Vader. Seems semi-hard to find online now, and those stores that do have them want a pretty penny for them. I had to hunt to find it for 99 shipped. Don't know what the ebay situation is with these guys. There are a few statues of this line so far (Clone Trooper, Jango Fett, and some others) though the only other one I might conisder is the upcoming Boba Fett, or an Emperor if they make one.

Synch Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 Hey thanks for the info man Can you do a pic of vader vs escaflowne when you have the time? Quote
Majestic Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 I got one of the exact same IKEA display cases. I mounted a light kit and stained/clear-coated it. It sits in my room, full of valks. A pretty cheap display case for a mere $70-$80! Quote
fearyaks Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 Pretty cool Vader, what type of assembly was required? Quote
