Can a glass shelf of a Detolf withstand the weight of a 1:1 T-800 Endo Bust?

Well some people do put the lifesize Arnold bust on the top and thats over double the recommended weight but on the glass. I wonder if there is much of a difference.

I'm definitely not willing to pay a $500 dollar lesson to find out

2 Years in the same spot.

I wouldn't try it with any of my 1:1 Busts. I was okay with my Yoda Bust, but I felt it was too risky after a month on display. I tried my Gen. Grievous Bust once it arrived and immediately took it off the glass after hearing pinging from the supports (it had double glass). I had picked up a Besta with Dioder lights in it's place and temporarily put my PF's in the Detolf's instead while I was trying figure out other solutions.

I opted to spend $60 on a pair of ceramic pillars from a local craft store. They are sturdy enough to hold the busts and they fit in well in my Detolfs. At least I don't have to worry about breakage from this point forward and they look great on display.

Yeah, I have had my Spiderman and Iron Man 1:1's in the same spots for the longest time.

More info on these "ceramic pillars" please. Never heard of those. How much, where you get, and how do they install/help support?

That's not resting on the GLASS.

That top can hold double of that bust weight easily.

He wasn't talking about the glass shelves.

I had the 28 lb Morgul Lord bust in my detolf for a year or so, triple shelved. He took up the top half and the weta Sauron was on the base. It held, though I never quite felt right about it.

yep , your right , I meant the top of the detolf. I'll have to put my Arnold bust on top of one too soon. I'm sure I'll be terrifed at first but hopefully it will be fine.

It will be fine. I have my Pred bust ontop of my detolf and no dramas.

Now this isn't the endoskull but still a weighty piece in itself. I have my Kroenen mask's all but the unmasked bust have sideshow's heavy base and have held well on doubling the glass shelves. Its been like a year also and no issues at all. Was worried at first but no issues a year later. Anyone who owns the sideshow piece knows how heavy the base is. Just to vouch for the glass's strength.

Love that set up Detale78.."AWESOME"

 

[speeddemon]

I have this set up on my detolfs and no problem...

1 Endo in a Detolf, I've had some mods made eg: lowered & added crossbars for support

Those crossbars are Ikea add ons or you made yourself ?


Zeee... tell vat tu du nao.

 

[jonny88]
