Gbeef's Danger Room (WIP)

[Darth Loki]

Where did you get the cabinet that has the statues in it? It looks great with the lighting. I'm trying to find something now that I can use for either my 12" collection, or Marvel statues.

Ive finished pulling the wires im just on clean up now, i have to install the pot lights then wait for an inspector to so up to check my wiring.

In the down time ive sat down and design the cabinet at the back of the room(it will be built into the wall. and will hold more statues BOWEN and SS VS stuff possible my full size bust 1:1. at first i was going to design the cabinet with doors on the side. Then i thought i better bulid it for an expanding collection. so ive added to 2 more glass displays on the sides. The whole display will be glass shelving 12mm tempered and the doors will be 8mm tempered.

here are some shots of what im planning on buliding if you anyone has ideas i would like there input.

The cabinets are IKEA, it was the "blonde" with glass doors and glass sheving(you may want to get glass cut to hold larger stuff) I think the shelfs are like 6mm the lighting in the back clip onto the glass shelving so i get light throughout the display. not just the top. Im Ditch the unit as my GF is talking it over for here collectable stuff. hahhaha and upgrading as you see above!

I just wanted to thank gbeef....after seeing your inprogress pics, I will be doing some work this weekend, lol. I'm going to cut out three alcoves in one of my basement walls: left and right will house my PF Hulks and the center will most likely house the rest of my SS Marvel PFs/Comiquettes.

That's the easy part...the hard part is moving the two FULL custom cabinets, 55" TV and sofa/loveseat.

NIceee threeonesix, get ready to get DUSTY! buy some tarps and plastic. haha When i saw you collection my jaw dropped. I do have one question about your shelving.. the custom ones.

what thickness of glass are you using? also what are your shelf units made out of (consturction wise) specific wood and paint or laminite application?

Thanks for the compliments....although those pics are from October of last year and the collection has grown...along with the CC bill, lol.

To answer your questions:

Glass is 3/8" or 12mm
Units are made from 3/4" MDF. The back is 1/2" MDF. Trim around the front is 1 X 2 and 1 X 3 Poplar. I'll have to look up the specifics on the paint tonight, but it's a semi-gloss latex in black, silver/gray and white.

Dark Gray.

Any dark color is non recommended for a basement.
