Displaying your Work......

[spinnerguy]

Hobbies can become obsessions,but just wondering how you display your models......are they put on shelves uncovered in a spare room,do they stand in a display cabinet,are they in individual cases,or are they left where you can cram them in?

I just use a glass upright floor standing display case from Ikea. Sadly not dust proof.....

Most are displayed in glass fronted cabinets or domed displays in my "War Room". However I am rapidly running out of room, and desperate for more display space.

I use ikea cabinets. two on the wall, one stand alone in my cave.
Unfortunally everything is packed, so I need anther cabinet.
But that want fit into the room. I think the oldest figures where ending in a cardboard box.

Stuffed into plastic boxes and only come out at shows!!

Stuffed in a glass fronted cabinet, definitely not dust proof and not accessible. The rest(26 of 'em) are part painted on my work table. It's easier to start new projects than finish one and try to find the display space.

Mine are displayed on the very limited horizontal space that I have. I have a room in my house intended for display, but it needs remodeling, part of a larger remodeling project on the upstairs part. I have a nice maple display cabinet, too, that I am in the process of refinishing, and that will hold some of my collection, when I get around to finishing the piece. These projects are kind of like one of my builds, they never seem to finish....

I've had my eye on those "Fabrikör" cabinets, though, too, like these:

That second style reminds me of the cabinets that used to be found in doctors' offices, back in the day.

It'd be easy enough to get additional shelves for both styles, too. Apparently not through Ikea, but any local glass company should be able to provide the right sizes in tempered glass shelves.

Prost!

Basically, thank God for Ikea.....

Love Ikea! I have two of these (see link), and would love to have a third, but the Mrs. has told me in no uncertain terms that we are out of space!

Figures, busts, planes, and tanks. All my painted plunder is in this here cabinet that is darn near loaded to the max.

That’s the same as mine. One thing about these is the height of the shelves. I was thinking of making some kind of ‘steps’ to fit full width so that I can elevate the ones at the back. Wouldn’t get more in but the visibility would be better.

These guys do some nice perspex risers for diplay - quick turnaround, too - https://www.3ddisplays.co.uk
