| I have a small window cabinet for the most important things, its a bit overrun at the top with carded figures (only holds about 4 really ) [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] border="0" alt="" /> The above is how I had them, it looked ok but not all of each card was displayed (had to overlap) Now I can put 2 on the side and have 2 in the middle , it also frees up space in the front of the shelf for something else but the side figures are hard to see unless you open the door! lol I think I like the overlapping display the most but maybe there is a combination I haven't tried yet, I know its hard to ask for help on this when you guys don't know the size of the cabinet but maybe someone has a good idea! |

| I dunno about good ideas- 1) line the back of the cabinet with a mirror, have the MOCs in pairs back to back on a 45 degree angle. 6 will fit on a shelf  2) get another cabinet for your non- MOCs |

That's a smart idea AJ! There is a light at the back of the top shelf, wonder if I can bodge it and remove it and see about getting some mirror back there...
Another question -
Do you think crowded cabinets work or do you like space? |

| Here's a pic of what I did on mine before I had to move everything because of the water. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] border="0" alt="" /> It's in no way perfect, but it allowed to open the display up a bit and "highlight" at least one MOC. My thought process on this was to allow for one "highlight" MOC that I could mess around with (mostly to give me something to tinker with every so often  ) and to allow for other MOC's to be place behind it. I'm sure I'll change it up when I put the display back together.  ----------------------------------------- "But where is prune face? When the face is a prune, then action goes boom!"

I thought you didn't have a choice with more space. I think everyone has space issues eventually, even those with dedicated SW rooms still have things in boxes. I'm pretty sure some could have a ranch and still run out of room |
