Monk's Photo Page (Han Solo EE Blaster pics Page 3)

I've just updated my .Mac page with pics of Captain America, Spike, and Darth Maul.

For those unfamiliar, this isn't a very thorough gallery. I only post one pic per collectible. Unless the collectible has an exclusive arm, or hand, or shield, or whatever. Then I post a pic of that exclusive.

Anyway, it's not much, but here it is...

Also, there's a seperate page for my Lord of the Rings stuff from SS/W.

Monk's .Mac LOTR page

nice pics... anything of the actuall displays???

A new display is being finished as we speak. I will apply the second coat of stain in two hours.

After that, it's a simple matter of attaching the cast iron brackets and mounting it to the wall.

Here's the display for the LOTR stuff, though:

Great shelf, the statues look very nice displayed on it

Nice collection + display Monk. The yellow wall offers a nice contrast.

Looks very good man!

Most excellent display and love the color contrast. Gives me ideas when I finally get around to painting the interior of my house.

awesome set up !!!! I'm jealous! :chew

Thanks, guys.

I'm ripping up that unsightly carpet this winter and refinishing the pine floors beneath. It'll be an arduous task, but the end result should be something to see.

Later today I'll post pics of the new Star Wars PF shelf that I just finished constructing. It's my first-ever carpentry job, so go easy with the criticism. Especially you, Shai, you soulless freak.

Finished the shelf.

It's made of simple plywood with a beechwood veneer finish, stacked up double-thick with pre-cut trim. It's 1.5" thick by 42" on one side and 52" on the other, and about 16" deep overall.

All materials come from Lowe's, except for the brackets, which I found online. (15" x 15" cast iron brackets, as it turns out, are tough to find for a decent price.)

All in all, I think it cost me about $130 in materials. :thumbs











EDIT: Luke and Han PFs are on the way.

Awesome, Awesome

seriously..I think your collection/setup should be in a magazine or something :chew

Thanks, man.

It's tough work, keeping them all clean when they're not covered by acryllic or encased in a curio. Well, not tough, exactly, but a bit on the time-consuming side...

The nice thing about having to clean them so frequently, though, is that it mandates that I show them proper care on a consistent basis. If someone were to walk into this room for the first time and find all of my statues caked in dust, I'd have to hide my head in shame...

yea, I know exactly what you mean, hehe
its a constant dusting, but like you said...how can someone walk in and see it all dusty- just not right.

Looks great Terry. I forget....do you have p.f. Lurtz?

Looks real good. I know I would be scared witless if I had any of mine on shelves like that though. My kids are always slamming doors. lol.

That is nice ... good collection. Where's Han ?

Great set up there! but please tell me those shelves are bolted into the wall studs...

Bolted deep. Yes, indeedy.

I'm stacking the replicas.

I was worried about the idea of doing this, but MR was kind enough to send a nice soft cleaning cloth along with their collectibles. I've used this as a buffer between the two displays, in an attempt to prevent scratches on the acrylic case of the Blaster.

I also did some modifications to the poses of Anakin and Obi-wan (currently my only 12" figures), making them more dynamic. I was inspired by Edwint. Dude comes up with some really amazing poses for his 12" figure photos. I'm really pleased with my own results.

Enough talk. On with pics!

I like how you've got Anakin/Darth Vader and Obi posed as if in mid-flight... I think I'll have to steal that one.
