Success! Before I tried modding my Detolf, I thought I'd try the top lid from my second Detolf to see if that one has more room. Lo and behold, it fit without a problem. So I didn't have to mod anything, I just switched the two tops of my cabinets.
Took me the whole afternoon to rewire my Detolf, but I'm finally done. I added two vertical dioder strips (the first generation, less yellowish ones) for some more light.
Amazing work, Joost! I couldn't be happier with the setup, this is *exactly* what I wanted for my Vader, and you knocked it out of the park.
More pics later, but I couldn't wait to show the setup.
Looks amazing Sulla9. Glad to hear you didnt have any problems
What did you mean by, you didnt have to use the side rails? You mean the metal profiles/brackets that holds everything together?
Looks amazing, nice job. Did you also puti it at the very top?

Apparently there is quite a bit of difference in the measurements of the totals over the years, especially depending on how it's assembled which means that for some. I suggest emptying your DETOLF when you work on it so that if anything goes wrong, there's nothing in there to get hurt. One of my clients couldn't fit it on the top shelf of one of his DETOLFs but it fit perfectly on the top shelf of his other DETOLF. Very strange.
Just checking to make sure.
I was going to put this together today, but is it possible to dissasdemble it afterwards to get it into the Detolf? Haven't got a detolf at the moment and was going to put it on top of my current cabinet. but I want to put it in one when I buy a Detolf.
First of all - sorry for the totally badly lit ghetto Smartphone shot.
i bought the Deluxe Version without having a Detolf to place it in but i loved the first full Deathstar Hallway Diorama so much, i had to buy at least the smaller Version.
To be honest, the double-sided-tape solution did not convince me at first. But i can definitely say that this is a effective and safe solution - no wiggling or sense of insecurity either. Really great work JazzInc!
And for me... Probably i will protect the diorama with a custom made acrylic display case.

I couldn't use it on my detolf shelf sadly, since the wife has claimed it for some trophies but managed to find a nice nook in my TV stand to place it for the mean time. Enjoying it as it is, and definitely viable since space is limited at my house. Definitely would consider an acrylic case as Sulla9 said to keep it dust free!
Honestly, superb work done by Jazz! His work is impeccable, and can't wait to see the next project!
