Finally I can display my stuff !!

[koit]

Hi all

Finally I've put all of my vintage on display !

Whilst going through the process of creating my "star wars" room, (with also a bit of star trek and muppets thrown in) I had to do a hell of a lot of research. And so, to save other people from having to do all of the separate research like I did, I'm going to list everything I bought here, with links as of today's date.


Full display (plus lights)

Cabinet close-ups

Cabinet dust strips - close-ups

Decor

I fashioned the other shelves from the Billy Bookcase shelves that came with the basic Billy Bookcases.

Self adhesive brush pile strips.
To keep out dust from the cabinets. Applied to the edge of each book case and some to the side of one door per cabinet. 25 metres of white and 10 metres of grey.

If anyone needs any advice, further information, I'm happy to share and help.

Once I've got the other side of the room complete, I'll share update photos - got lots of collectors plates, a couple of lightsabres and some other purchases to put out

I'll be looking to upgrade figures, buy things I don't have, and sell my backup stuff or duplicates.
Here's my wanted list.

If you have anything, I'd be grateful to hear from you.

That's mightily impressive! The steps look especially good. Thanks for sharing all the info as well- will come in handy for lots of folk on here- me included 8)

Love this - Trying to figure out how to do lighting for my own Billy bookcases so this is very useful.

Cracking display and I love the ceiling space scene, fantastic work

Thanks all - now just need to improve the content within !

Beautiful display room and a great idea to include a list of links to everything you've bought to make it happen! I really like those glass doors, I only just realised they are silver/aluminium - I thought they were white!

 

[Grant_C]

What an amazing post.

 

[itfciain]

What an amazing post.

100% agree - this is what the forums are all about - this post on Facebook would be gone within a day or two (all be it with a couple of 100 likes !)

Thanks for the link to the stands and going to have a look at your other links to see if there is anything else I can add in. Plus, one day I actually want to get a display room like this !!

P.S. I love that Squid / Leia Poncho Trilogo card - is that a factory sealed miss card - not seen one of them before

 

[Seahawks]

Amazing display and collection! Well done.

 

[Robstyley]

Nice display man, and a great collection. A lot of efforts gone into this, well done. I like the white and glass, looks clean.

Yes mate, 100% original miscard - had it for ages

 

[Snaketibe]

An excellent display. Thanks for sharing it

 

[SAVORY100]

Looks great, really like the loose vehicles on display as opposed to the boxed versions I have... might be prompting a rethink of my display...

 

[Hooch]

Great looking display mate
Just a few more Ewoks and it will be even better :lol:

 

[PulsarP]

One of my favourite displays Koit, you've inspired me to post pics of some of my stuff now 8)
Incidentally, are you the Koit that runs Loose figure variations site?

Regards
Paul

 

[koit]

Yeah that's me mate - not done too much work on it for ages cos I've been so busy with animations, house move, broken hand..... you name it !

I look forward to seeing yours mate too. More inspiration is always ace.

Great room and I agree it is nice you have shared the links to items, I will be getting a death star lampshade for my man cave.

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

That's just stunning Properly planned out and put together and beautifully displayed, too. Some lovely items there and great scenes, too. That ceiling is the mutt's

 

[Clarkspie&chips]

Unbelievable display and something I really aspire to when I finally get mine be sorted.

Great idea with the links to the products too.
