My Room I Like: New Glass Display's

Ever get that slight tingling feeling each time you walk into a Toy Shop?

Taking in the sight of all those toys and the only one word that keeps repeating in your head is BUY BUY BUY! Like a broken record player?

Well I sure do feel that way and I bet you collectors & hobbyist would feel the same too.

Therefore this JUNE I decided I will do just THAT! A TOY SHOP ROOM I MUST HAVE! And it’s my Birthday Present to myself. (Reader mind: psycho…..echoing)

Let’s Start….

Firstly need to find an expert on installation and not demolitions, because if I were to do all this on my own, I would be just that!

So after much searching I found aka “Ah Choy”, my mother plumber….LOLZ! (Good Man, Force strong with this one!)

This is the first display sleeves above my TV, for my 12inch figures
(which still have not arrive!)

Sleeves are 4ft long.

Had a few figure to test the display.

Wanted to do more sleeves here, however he advise me against it, as my bed is directly below it.

6 Ft Glass Display

Now for the main display, which consist of 5ft long glass sleeves (all 6 inch width), to display my unopened figures. For this display i had to move out my wardrobe.

Ah Choy Testing the stability of the glass sleeves.

let's get my Legion out their boxes, at this point i really couldn't believe i am finally seeing them out of this box.

And here it is! however i only manage to fit one box of my collection, mean i need more sleeves!

All my figures are wrap in a clear plastic, before putting them up on display, to maintain 100% of its original state!

My Favorite 4 figures

The ROTS Figures were the first few figures that got me started on this mad journey.

My AT-TE Glass Display:

Got this idea for a local collector, used a 4ft fish aquarium & made a custom cover with pegs to hold the cover in place.

Place this below my 6ft Glass Display, will use the top to place small Star fighters!

Use Masking Tape to cover the Styrofoam supporting the whole Aquarium.

AT-TE Stay comfortably inside with the AT-TE Support Squad

A V-19 Star fighter resting on the top, will open more vehicles this weekend

My Room I Like: Updates

Finally! Had the time to put up my display, as this was just for testing i and decided to go with glass this time, as the lighting penetrates better and it looks great compare wood.

The full picture of the display isn’t great, as the area where it was located wasn’t very bright; therefore the SLR Camera could not focus properly, however after having tried a few shots, I had an Idea of using an IKEA Spot light above the troopers which to my surprise produce quite good pictures.

Most of toys are still in their boxes.... really cant wait to get them on display...

It was a blast to finally get to open some of my extra troopers for display sleeves, keep visiting to see more updates on my collection and display of my new room!
