I've been building my own display set-up and still a bit to do but here's the story so far. Big thanks to Ed on SWFUC for advice on building this beast as never done any joinery before.

The first image has been photoshopped with whitening as had to take 20 photos to get it all in and fix them together so lighting was inconsistant.



And here's the side views unedited.




Close-ups of the side shelves.




Here are the process shots...

Now that's what I call nice work. Greaht I lovet it. Once I hade some aqvariums in a fake wall like yours it was greaht. Please keep us updatet with pictures when you got more stuff on the shelves.

Cheers Michael aka the danish Han Duro

nice work Ham, and if that's your first attempt at joinery then you should be well stoked!
Looking good with all those compartments

Fanx chaps, it's getting there. Will keep ya updated when complete.

welldone! i wish i was handy like that!

Great job Ham! Congrat - it looks really very cool!

Uli

Very wel designed Ham, I like it a lot!!!

Looks good ham, are you worried about space at all in the future when your collection expands?

Ham,

thats really smart, looks like its part of the room unlike say a bookcase.
Get ready to do the other wall when your collection expands

Andy

lol, thanks guys and think my collection is slowing down now that I'm getting the ones I want/need. The reason why I couldn't get a whole shot from the front is cos thats the whole room as it's kinda a walk-in collectors room from my main bedroom. I think the other wall will have to have just shelves of some kind, again will try and go for something different to match.

Before I made this my figures were just stacked on top of each other and couldn't really appreciate them to their fullest. Now it's wicked as can really see them all near enough in one go and really feel satisfied and appreciated them. Thanks to all for support and happy days to make this hobby worth while!

You do know there is a PBP scout in the classifieds dont you ?

Arghhh where????

Nice heads up Joe, just PM'd him.

Well, I figured someone would have seen it by now but I guess not - its very tough when you know lots of biker scout collectors to figure out who deserves or wants a figure more than the other one, so this time I didn't pm anyone - I know jimmy is off the forums for a while and maybe his funds are tied up so hopefully he won't be mad at me - Jimmy sorry

The room looks great Ham. I never thought about doing slots like that. Guess you get to window shop everyday now. I seen a familiar face in there hiding in the back of one of those shelves, mate.

Ham holy cow! What an awesome job dude.

That really is stunning Ham.

Thanks guys and yeah Chris the lil fella's tucked away back there but soon to be front row!

Nice Ham, awesome work dude. You're a natural. Sorta makes my putting off of my hanging of the extra cabinets on the wall (coz i'm worried they won't be straight) a little embarassing!

lol, cheers Tankman but anyone can do it if ya put ya mind to it, just a bit of elbow grease! Look forward to seeing your display dude.

Btw Tank, where's ya limelight or are you waiting for all to be displayed in cabinets?

What? Someone's deleted my limelight??

WOW HAM! That is sweet! With the first pictures I was thinking, 'How did he do that?'

Is that masonite?

Sorry dude, what's masonite? If it's a materials term then the frame is made from 2 x 4 timber and the rest is purely mdf.

I understand now.

Similar to masonite IMHO

We used masonite in the theater a lot when we wanted to cover a wall flat, it is a great surface to paint.
