My collection pics

[316what]

I'm in the middle of a huge rearrangement of the collection. But since I got the centerpiece completed, I figured I'd post some pics to get it started.

Start to finish on the centerpiece.

Clearing some space.

Time to get to work building the base.

And adding a top....uh oh, a bit top heavy.
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y70/316what/Birthday%20Present%202010/BirthdayPresent2010025.jpg

Putting the other fronts/tops together.

Had to call in some help at this point.
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y70/316what/Birthday%20Present%202010/BirthdayPresent2010026.jpg

Now I can work on it by myself.

We need some art on the top.

Hulk original pencils, inks and colors.

Now, once I figure out how I'm going to arrange the rest of the collection I'll post updated collection pics.:D

No pics of me installing the shelves, but here's the finished product (without the doors)

Add the doors to the left and center. No doors on right just yet...the etched Playstation on the glass just isn't cutting it.

BEAUTIFUL SET UP 316What! The fact that you DIY converting the store display into very own custom case made display with pictures to show for with the progress makes this a perfect set up. And you have plenty of room add more pieces if you wanted too on top...now that's sweet! Congrats 316what, can't wait to see more of the collection. :buttrock: :buttrock:

Btw, are you planning on adding lights inside the case?

[Do or do not]

Great job on the custom cabinet. Really well done.

[VinReaper]

Brilliant job with the paint of the cabinetry!

Fantastic set up! Well done! Bravo! :thumbs2:

It's my half of the house. I get the basement to do with as I want and the wife gets the upstairs to decorate as she wants. I spend most of my time down in the basement anyway since all my stuff is down here: computer, sectional with recliners, entertainment center, bar, and collection. Hell, the wife is down here almost as much, lol.

Nice work and well done on the shelving unit!

Thanks. It took me forever to find the Alex Ross MARVELS litho on Ebay a couple years ago.

[Averone]

Spectacular!
The effort that you put into this room, I can very much appreciate!
Now fill it up with more statues and show us! ;)
