I mean my display. Filthy lot.
Finally I got some time to mess about with a display. The misses is away for a week with my daughter so rather than wasting time with DIY I was able to bring my display cabinets in and get one set up. The only thing holding me back from the second one is the lack of acrylic cases. Roll on FF.....
I thought these two second hand cabinets would hold my MOCs, loose and even the odd vehicle. Not a bloody chance. As soon as I'm all "GW'd" up it'll be full. I think I'm going to have to get one of the Deltofs to fit in between for my loose collection and odds and ends. All in good time.
My focus is wide: Tri-logo and Palitoy. I am mainly concentrating on Tri-logos (you may have got that impression). The last time I was collecting I hated them, now I love them. I don't know exactly how I'm going to manage to display my boxed vehicles as I would love to but space, as always is the issue.
Anyway, it's not an original theme and one that's been done many many others and displayed much better. However, since setting it up a couple of days ago, I have found myself just walking into my office, sitting down and looking at them. It feels so good just to be able to look up and see them whenever I want
I do need to figure out something with lighting but don't really want to put lights so close to them and inside the cabinets themselves. Maybe I'll sort the ceiling lights out in the room when I overhaul it, which it's due for.
UPDATE 26/08/16
I have (sort of) finished something I hadn't even got close to before. I have the last 17 on Trilogo cards. I say sort of because I would like to upgrade Yak and even more so Amanaman at some point but will wait for the right items at the right price before I do so. I would also like to get a set with the sticker and without. I love the look of the cards without the sticker whilst feeling they're missing something. Pants photo. I love the acrylic cases but they add a lot of "interference" when it comes to photos.
UPDATE 12/10/16
Southern Rail's strike has given me a couple of days to have a sort out. What is apparent is I could fill these cases all over again but I have neither the cabinets or the space. I also need something for my loose collection and ever increasing oddball stuff. For now I'm happy to have my Palitoys and the last 17 and part run of first 12 trilogos up.
The 41 backs with my sole 30 back:
The 45a backs (IG-88 slips onto the shelf below):
The (underrated) 45b backs:
And a mix of 45c and 65 backs. Some still need to find shelf space:
The cabinet as a whole. Bottom shelf used for storage of those awaiting GW cases and display space:
My last 17 and part 1st 12 run on Trilogo:
Both cabinets:
