It's a generic shadow box. I added in balsa wood for the shelves and painted them black to match the frame.

Ive seen these posted before, looks really nice. I like the floor is it laminate or concrete? I have my carpet in my office / toy room and I hate it.

>>4528661
What is this jet looking thing you have up on a flightpose?
>>
>>4528688
I'm not 100% sure what the floor is. I think it's some type of old ass tile. When my wife and I moved here over the summer, I painted it grey with garage floor paint, then put a layer of garage floor sealant on it. The original colors of the floor were a mix of burgundy, charcoal, and brown. It was just as hideous as it sounds. I figure the paint on the floor will hold up a year or two until I save up to get the floors redone.

Also, the jet on the flightpose is Shattered Glass Megatron.

wrong, the fact that the shelves are on different levels are what make the display look good you fucking pleb.

I gotta ask about that fire escape. where can I find one of those. I love the look of it with the turtles.

Type in "Fire Escape Shelves" into eBay. That's where I got it from. Was about 100 bucks.
>>
>>4531384
Definitely not worth $100
>>
>>4531384
awesome thank you
>>
>>4531389
So spending hundreds of bucks of that exclusive repaint is worth it, but spending 100 dollars on a shelf to display those figures isn't worth it.

Do you display your figures on 20 dollar Wal Mart shelves?

I literally don't get the crit this display is catching. Other than being a bit dusty it's a perfectly acceptable display of retro-esque robot toys.

>>4528712

Will those string lights cause any damage to the toys long term? That display looks very nice.

Thanks man. They are LED'S they are less damaging than incandescent and far less damaging than sunlight.

>>4532924
That wall bugs me too, but the way it was build makes it damn near impossible to paint even edges unless you're a professional or have really steady hands. I'm neither, so after redoing it about 3 times, I just settled with what's there now.

>>4532474

Masking tape?
>>
>>4533209
>>4533209
Bought 3 different types of painters tape. The room was originally a garage, so the wall is a bit uneven. Therefore, paint would leak through gaps in the tape no matter what I did.

They're two Ikea Besta units pushed together with Glassvik doors and Inreda shelves installed.
>>
>>4533011
I hate to use the term, but it reeks of "hipster." They're most likely modern reproductions of original toys (or even just inspired by them) and it's highly unlikely that anon grew up with him, giving him no emotional connection. They're there simply as shorthand to convey his "vintage" tastes to anyone who might be impressed by it.

I recognize that chick. She has a nice collection overall, and she also makes them. I think that photo was from an interview she did for her own design work... She works at pinterest now.
