DIY BEAST™ In-Wall Shelf Project 105"x38"x30"

So, i'm finally getting around to finishing off my basement and couldn't decide how i wanted to display my Statues... Was thinking about a few built in shelves and then it dawned on me that i should just do one huge shelf that would tide me over for a good couple years. Its 110" long, 38" in height, and 28" deep. Figure this will be enough room to display anything i would get other than some of the 1/2" figures which if i ever got them would be displayed on the floor anyways. The room in the wall will allow me to use a mix of taller PF's or Maquettes with risers in the back for smaller PF's.

I'm in the beginning stages of the construction but it will be complete by next week and i'll post up progress pics as i go along. I can't wait to have one massive hole in the wall filled with a mix of everything.

Watching your vids made me think about what is happening down in my man cave right now. I'm going to hang track lighting from the ceiling on the outside of the shelf. They will be the spotlight types that you can point wherever you want. Probably about 6 of them and i think over time when i come up with some more cash i'll make an acrylic door that hinges on top so that when your viewing it, it will almost look like a 3D picture on the wall.

I'm watching!

Not much of an update, but did some more of the frame work tonight after work and ran the electrical I needed for the lighting and anything that has a light up feature. Hard to see what's happening here, but I do have a vision of the final product

More, more, more!

Re: Custom In-Wall Shelf 110"x38"x28"

I need more time! Day job kills the momentum

Re: Custom In-Wall Shelf 110"x38"x28"

No, no, no, you don't need 8 hours of sleep.

Re: Custom In-Wall Shelf 110"x38"x28"

Soon!! Done by end of the week!

Re: Custom In-Wall Shelf 110"x38"x28"

Nice! Can't wait to see this completed!

Re: Custom In-Wall Shelf 110"x38"x28"

Ok, getting this done finally. Installed some electrical inside the shelf, one in the lower left for things that have light up and need ac, and one on top for track lighting, both controlled by one switch. Drywall is going up and tomorrow will finish framing and drywalling the hole in the wall.. Lol. I'm thinking it will be mudded and painted by the weekend. Some progress pics

Just bought the house, with full intentions of using this space for some sort of display. I'll be adding some vertical supports and 3/4 plywood on top for added support I'm really looking forward to actually having enough figs to fill the space up

Re: Custom In-Wall Shelf 110"x38"x28"

Can't wait to see finish result mate

Re: Custom In-Wall Shelf 110"x38"x28"

I'll just wait here for the next update.

Re: Custom In-Wall Shelf 110"x38"x28"

Another day of grueling work, but it's coming along. Put The Chief in the center for some size reference, but the center is reserved for Sauron!

Thanks man, so much work but going to be very worth it. Always wanted to just have everything on one big shelf, mix and match lines, can't wait to see it all finished and have enough money to actually fill it up with figs!
