View Full Version : BOWEN FS or MB only collection?

I'm trying to figure out what to buy to display my Bowens. I envision a glass case in wood with lighting. I want to put each FS or MB by itself, ya know, next to each other, not crowded together, so I will need length, but not a lot of width. I don't like the over crowded look. It gets me dizzy! So, anyone got pics of a BOWEN only collection that looks kinda like what I'm talking about?

Thanks

Al

It'll start out with just a few FS or MB on each shelf, then it'll crowd up in a year or two... depends on how crazy you are in this hobby... by then you'll probably need another shelf :laugh: I'm already on that path. Mines are so crowded that i can't even see what bust is behind the other.
I usually go to Ikea to see what they got or buy it from a business that's going out of business... 'cuz normally those store displays are heavy duty and nice.

Jimi maybe it's the angle of the camera but some of those shelves look like they were getting ready to buckle.

I was worried about that too. So I took a bunch out and the shelves looked the same. The pic does make them look more bowed then they actually are though. I took all of the statues out at one point and put a 25 lb plate on each shelf and it was sturdy and that was what it is rated for so I'm not worried. :)

Not that crowded! Some look like an obsession instead of a collection. It's all about the layout!

If I recall correctly--NBR3 has only his FS on display in like 2-3 cases--it looks really nice.



He has pics posted in the collection pics thread (I think #1)

No one yet .. I'm saving that spot for the next X-Man FS statue .. eventually both Juggy and Sabertooth will be going some place else.
