Android4's Nerd Shrine

[ANDROID4]

*Update Oct 2012

I recently moved out of my old place so the display had to come down but I have uploaded a video of it for old times sake.

Hopefully I can get a new display up and running soon.



* Update march 2012

I am moving out so I thought I would take few last photos before I took them down. Enjoy.

Full Gallery

I changed the LEDs to an external LED bar. Now I can turn the lights on and off with out opening the shadow boxes.
Best part is there's no dust. Also note there are no other lights on in the room besides the LEDS

I like to keep it simple and classy

Man are you going to have room for more 12 inchers the way you have them spaced...
Very nice display!

Very nice streamlined collection. Thats how I like em!! Are those custom cases?

 

[Colossus]

WOW, That looks Awesome, Looks like a Gallery

looks great man. if only one thing i would suggest is to place a mirror on the top side of the boxes so the light will reflect down on the figures as well.
should really make them stand out even more and eliminate most if not all the shadows

just press on LED lights I got from the hardware store. The only thing that I dont like is I have to take each frame down to turn them off and on.

I have another longer wall right beside this one. ( I'll take my time filling that one up)

Are those custom cases?

they are shadow boxes from micheals. I did a few mods on them only to make them eaiser to open.

I really like that idea. thank you. Now I just have to find pieces that fit well.


Thanks for all the comments! im really happy with my nerd lair. this is an expensive hobby but damn its fun.

Brilliant setup bro! Maybe u can make a custom switch on the side of the box for the lights.

 

[quadcent]

just go to your local glass shop and get one made to fit and try it.
see if it works then do the rest.

That is a very impresive nerd shrine you have there Android.
Congrats!!!!

Very nice...I might have to use that idea...

 

[spectramr2]

Why dont you use the ikea diode lights and drill a small hole in the top for the wire to escape. That way, you can link 4 at once and have a external switch.
