Hot Toys - DS001A-C - Iron Man 2: 1/6th scale Hall of Armor Collectible Specs & Pics

This actually looks exactly like what I'd need, as I have no route to a power socket for my HoA. You've used some terminology I don't understand, though (not an electronics / electricals bod here), and I can't see enough in your pictures to work it out for certain.

I see I need at least

* Lots of wire (duh)
* DC adapter to fit the HoA unit
* Dowel / other + pins to make the battery substitutes
* D-type in-series battery holder (or lots of sticky tape )

I don't know what buss bars or jumper strip are, though. From a google search, it looks like buss bars are the same as terminal blocks, and jumper strips are like metal combs (or the other way around) - is that right?

From what I can see in the picture and determine from your text

* The halved jumper strip goes into the top and bottom half of the buss bar
* The power-in cables go +ve above the split, -ve below, making the top half of the bar all +ve and the bottom all -ve
* Any top-half can then be run to a +ve terminal, and any bottom half can go to a -ve terminal

Is that correct?

If so - to make it work for bigger set ups (I have 7 HoA + workshop = 10 outputs), it it just a case of using a longer buss bar?

Thanks, guys. The display isn't quite finished - some of the top shelf items will move to smaller cabinets that haven't been installed yet, to make room for the 1966 Batmobile and DeLorean (eventually) as well as more Iron Man suits, since the Marvel shelf is already a bit full.




I didn't build these myself, they were designed and built for me. This is one of two similar cabinet rooms; this one has a 1m depth on the back wall to accommodate the cars, with 60cm sides and currently holds my Star Wars, LotR, Batman and Marvel stuff, the other is 60cm depth on all sides and hold my Transformers, Assassins Creed and Portal stuff.

The bases are wooden with storage space (not enough for all my Hot Toys boxes, but a little bit), the doors are indeed glass on a slide mechanism. The shelves are glass supported on metal arms that can be adjusted up and down similar to what you'd find in a supermarket. The lighting is LED panels + spotlights; each side can be operated / lit independently of the others, although the spotlights and LEDs for each side work together.

There are no power supplies into the interior of the case, hence my earlier posts asking about wiring up the HoA to a battery unit, for which I now have most of the parts to progress )

I missed this earlier post but I will try to help now.

You pretty much understand how the buss bar works. You don't need a bigger buss bar for more wires. You can put more then one wire in each terminal or you can put more then one terminal under each screw.

If you live in the USA all of these parts can be found at Radio Shack. If you don't live in the USA I could put a kit together for you, including the dowel rod adapters

PM me about that if you want to.

I have custom made display cases, specifically built deep enough to hold Hot Toys Batmobiles. It just happened to be the case that it was also deep enough for a full HoA display

Yes it would be possible to hard wire an armor but it wouldn't be easy. You would have to highly modify the armor to hide the wires.

I would never leave that room

That is an incredible set-up you have.

Once the two additional cases are in place and I can reorganise a little, I'll be doing a full photo shoot of my entire display - I'll post a link when it's done. With other things going on, it'll likely be late September / early October
