imperial nuts -oh so tiny (but getting there) collection.

[Imperial nut]

Right here we go, this is not everything i have but just what i can get out of boxes before i realised what it would be like to repack.
The room they are in will eventually be their home in deep shelves either side of the chiney brest.
I put some of the weapons on the rebels/non -cool imperials,,,, oh and i forgot to put in Fett in any photos :roll:
But he was off killing ewoks at the time (or on the floor behind me)
And the At-Ats and At-St's are in their boxes and they were in the hoth photos.

Right Rebel sideshow. including an modern A-wing ,(dont care ,i wanted one and it will be replaced with a droids one when i have the money)

and from left to right, any beaters will be replaced, as some of my own toys are in there somewhere.

and ships

now as you may have twigged by now ,, imperials are where its at for me and many months ago Gary (sith-smith) had a photo of his imperial army which is what inspired me and i realised it was possible, especially the Emperors arrival scene from Jedi.
Well i am getting there so i tried my first attempt with with 105 imperials.

hopefully i will get to 500 imperials by the end of next year,, but maybe not stormtroopers :lol:
Still i think it looks sweet and i want to leave them set up like that. :mrgreen:

Pete wanna sell me your hundred stormies???

Again thanks for all the advice, banter, deals and general coolness folks.

[Imperial nut]

[iDrew]

Great display 8) :mrgreen:

 

[drew]

Absolutely loved your imperial display! I kept having the imperial march theme playing in my head! I am really inspired

 

[itfciain]

Thats a great display mate.

I will have to have a think about keeping some of my Stormies as I would love to create that Emperor's entrance scene. I also MUST get an Imperial Shuttle - it is the coolest thing ever (although the Sail Skiff is damn good too)

 

[JohnWalsh]

It's not so tiny to me. It looks great. I have always wanted to get a bunch of troopers and such but never have. I have always been fascinated by the big displays, but never done one myself. Thanks for sharing

 

[Imperial nut]

thanks guys, i have been busy and i have already outgrown this display case just with imperials , another box of imperials just landed from the states and i am trying to cram them in somewhere.

And i will be doing a revised emperors arrival soon with over 200 of my imperials god i love imperials.

 

[Imperial nut]

Well time for an update,, instead of me posting every bag and box of imperials that comes through my door on latest aquisitions, i am just gonna update when my collection moves on a bit.

I have got a few more small lots and there is 40+ more imperials in the post. In the case there is 214 including Vader , bobba and old ballbag face, the emperor.

So when the other box finally arrives i will break the 250 mark and i will be half way to a hangerfull.
My main need is a second display case as this is getting quite crammed as you can see.

But i love rearranging them.

a second ikea special is comming in right beside this one asap.

Stormies

More stormies and the head honchos

the crowded shelf for now

the hoth trooper section,, with space for more to arrive.

i know once you have seen one stormie you have seen em all but i love em, and all the imperials
and i cant wait to do another bigger emperors arrival scene.
:mrgreen:

 

[tigerham]

Steve they look wicked dude!!

 

[Joe]

Great case Steve Really like seeing all those imperials ! (You should pull apart some Ewoks and put them in a big pile in the middle lol )

 

[weasel]

GREAT idea!

In fact, you don't need to even stick them in the middle.........just pull some Ewoks apart! :wink:
