Now that Adepticon is done, it's time to "pimp my basement". It's really sad, most of my armies are collecting dust in foam cases. I tend to shelve armies almost immediately after the initial tournament use; I'm a weird individual that likes the creation process almost more then the finished product.
I now have these two huge finished rooms in the basement just dying for some decoration. I like to keep all of my "geek" stuff in the basement, so I think it's time to spend some money and show it off. First off, I need to find some good display cases. I'd love to get any ideas that you might have, right now I'm leaning to this one above from Ikea for about $60. Any other suggestions?
Next step this summer will be the creation of a couple of gaming boards. I'm thinking I'll go with the ultra portable and either get some mats from Zuzzy or even maybe use a combination of the GW gaming table with some of my own custom tiles.
Dark Eldar are making some major progress. I'm traveling to Toronto & Minneapolis over the next few weeks for work and the first round of the NHL playoffs start (Go Blackhawks!) so that will be a bit of a distraction.
I have the exact same and it works just fine... but if I could add one more thing to it... it would be some more shelves of plexiglass... because it's a bit too high between the shelves for our minis so we lose a lot of space between them...
BC, I have two from Ikea. I have one floor unit with metal bracketing, a locking door, and 6 glass shelves. The other is a wall mounted unit with a door and 8 adjustable shelves. Both are really solid and I have no complaints.

ReplyDeleteIt's called "detolf" is pretty much what you have pictured there, cheap, easy to assemble and you can hook a little light up inside :)

ReplyDeleteperfect, thanks guys. I think I'm going to go to Ikea tonight!
ReplyDeleteCan you add more shelves into it?
ReplyDeleteGood question, I'm going to find out. If it's just as simple as adding more posts and cutting some extra plexiglass, I'm sold.
ReplyDeleteactually yes... use post ar each corner with a sheet on top or simply create a "U" shape upside down and it would work just fine...
