That looks incredible!

Are you using clear acrylic or glass? DIY or did you have someone else build it to your specs?

Very impressive job either way.

I used clear acrylic sheets from Home Depot. The case is 48T X 36W X 24 inch deep. HD sells that at this size so the only one I had to cut was the top piece. I built it myself. It is made of 1x2's, 1/2 oak plywood for base, and some wainscoting and trim on the bottom. The lights are from Amazon. It was pretty fun to make and it actually turned out better than I thought it would, especially the lighting. The pictures don't do it justice when it is dark and the spotlights are on him.

Man, you did a fantastic job! How did you fasten the acrylic to the wood trim?

Not sure if he did this, but if he's using 1" x 2"s for the case frame, he would have had room to cut a groove into two sides of each piece that the acrylic sheet could then slide into.

If I had access to a table saw, that's how I'd be building mine.

However you did it, you did a killer job, newe82. From the pics it looks completely pro-quality.

Thanks for the info, such a great job it makes me ambitious to do something similar at home too!

And to echo what pdenham said, just a killer job newe82. You could make those and sell them, it's so good lol

Thanks for all the kind comments everybody. Pdenham is correct. I initially planned to router out the two edges and silicone the sheets into the grove. I used Douglas fir wood which is a soft wood and as I was routering it kept splintering. I actually took the 1x2 boards and countersunk the holes and screwed them together. Once I had the “box frame” built I predrilled small holes into the acrylic sheets 6 inches apart and screwed them directly into the frame using #4 1/2 screws. To hide the screws I then installed square 1/2 x3/4 inch trim on the inside. If I had used oak or maple the router edge method would have been used. These cabinets I made from oak and route red the edges.

Any feedback on the P1 Black Superman? It's currently on sale in P1 website and shocked it was still available. To those who have them can you guys post more pics. I plan to place it with my DK3 Masterrace Batman.
