Display shelf for PFs

[gagaliya]

The best display is ikea's PAX, NOTHING comes close in term of flexibility, price, & space. It's also the ONLY display under $2000 that has a real 22" shelf depth (vs 17" max for all the others). It let you display statues the way you want (ie the avenger team stack), and the only display that will fit the optimus prime statue. It also has dust resistant sliding doors like the highend curios as oppose to besta open doors. Lastly it comes with 93+" height option, which will allow 31"+ per shelf height, that will fit most if not all CM and lsf statues as well.

I am currently building one using custom non-glare 99% uv-resistent acrylic panels designed for museum display, will post some details/photo once done in a week or two.

Should have gone this route long time ago, instead of wasting thousands of dollars buying those giant grandma's curio with little depth that can barely fit anything but takes up sooo much space.

Do you have pics of your pax set up?

Just check out the PAX at IKEA website. The dimension is very nice and very flexible for large maquette indeed. However the width of 19" may not be enough for life size bust.

Dont think you are looking at the right one, see below link. The width is 59" (30" per cabinet) or 78" (39" per). Dont go for the larger ones above 78" because it divides the interior differently above that, just buy 2x 78" or 59" if need even wider.

As mentioned the default glass is not see through, that's why I need to get the custom acrylic panels (you can do glass too), still waiting for it to get made, will post some photos when all done.

The Besta is the only way to the display these Beauties as it is safe, and secure. However if your crafty with tools and building things then this will also work

I had a friend of mine duplicate the Besta design for me but added a few inches to the height and width. I think it is well worth just getting someone you know to build it if that person is skilled in this type of work.

besta is a good alternative if all you have are regular sized PF. It's limited by 25" height x 14" depth per display unit vs 30" height x 22" depth for the pax. The pax sliding door is also a big plus for resisting dust getting in.

optimus prime for example will not fit in besta (god knows i tried)

Just went to Ikea and you are totally right, if you can just get clear glass in those sliding doors these display cases would be the ultimate for 1/4 scale stuff and larger. Only downside is that each shelf holds only 44 pounds but that's not a deal breaker. I may end up doing this as well. Thanks for the great idea!
