Hey guys, I have been getting ribbed to get this limelight on the go for a long long time & I will try to add group shots to it at a later date, but have put the whole collection in this rather than just my baggies, & a bit about the room which has been a right labour of love I can tell you.
When I moved to the new house there was a huge void above our heads in the loft space, just an empty shell, not even any insulation
but that was 18 months ago & I could see it all in my minds eye & at bloody last its as good as finished - thank the bloody maker as its been a stressful project to say the least & boy does that insulation **** itch :x the big plus was the fact that the loft space has no cross beams & RSJ's running lengthwise leaving a huge usable space.
It pretty much started as it went on being a total pig of a job what with the owner having bodged every conceivable job on the place, but I won't go in to details as TBH its bloody boring!.
The main display which is for the baggie collection is on the I beams & can be covered with magnetically affixed boards so not on display constantly, both sides of the beams can be used, but only the fronts have the removable boards - absence make the heart grow fonder & all that & it will nice to have that feeling of really needing to pull those boards down so you can see the labour of your collection & feel the anticipation that you get when all your collection is in boxes packed away, but with the ability to get the fix whenever you want it.
The loose & loose variants will be on display constantly on either side of the room in 6 display cabinests, the wall mounted ones are home made, again with magnetic fronts for easy access to the collection, & 2 floor standing rotating cabinets.
& the biggie - I got to paint the whole bloody room black black black :twisted:
The room its self which has storage space either side with 4 magnetic doors & a little room I have made to house my Hi-fi kit & the TV to give the sunken effect, always wanted to do this as I love my tunes & have had to live without them for the last 18 months - the longest I have gone without a stereo since I was & & its been hell, but I am chuffed to get it done, all the cables nicely tucked away in the room behind & running round the room all hidden, door to this is also magnetic as are ll the board above.
Just the cabinets b4 being filled with vintage goodness & in need of a good clean after 2 years storage.
Below all my loose baggies laid out minus the latest batch I just got.
loose baggies & AFA'd multi-packs
All the above but with the loose multi-packs as well
Couple of shots to show the covers for the I beams
The baggies within the I beam display, will look a lot better when they are in individual acrylic cases IMO.
The side floor display cabinets with my loose figures side runs/stormie army/custom bits & die cast etc etc
Right side -

Wall mounted
Rear shelf with carded & stuff

Some general layout photos, showing display boards both on & off

My raised bar coo side run

Just for you Joe -
& finally big thanks to my long suffering better half for this essential item she got me as a christmas gift.
Just need to add my 3 childhood figures & a couple more items when I find them, as said I will update the thread with some baggie figure specific group shots.
That took bloody ages :lol: hope you enjoy
