Hey,

I'm not sure where to post this... It's not a miniature thing per se, but still highly related to the collecting aspect of our hobby. Moderators, please move this if you know of a more suitable place for the post, and thanks.

Here's the display case that I assembled. I think it looks great, and it definitely feels great not to worry about dust settling on my models.

It's a basic Ikea cabinet with lights installed on the ceiling.

Thanks for looking!

Looks really nice!

Nice bro! Put those boxes down below in the cabinets so they dont cluter it up. Room to grow!!!

Very cool! What Ikead cabinet is it? I found nothing fitting 2 weeks ago when I was in Ikea with my wife.

That looks great! I second the asking what it is.
Once you get some stuff in the upper half, you may want to consider putting some mirror panelling on the back wall, as with downward lamps, you find less light reached the lower shelves.

I like it veddy much

Looks awesome your paintjob is also really impressive looking to build myself something similar over the xmas break

Thanks for the kind words!

Mirror paneling in the back is an awesome idea. I might get that somewhere down the line.

The cabinet is composed of these three stacked (links below). I got additional shelves for the bottom unit, and that's where I put my extra sprues, materials etc. You can mix and match however you like, but the resulting height is just about perfect this way. The first image shows how high it is at eye level, and I'm about 188cm tall. Any higher and I wouldn't be looking at the top shelf from above.

And I'm pretty sure you can get cheaper lights on Amazon or wherever. I just grabbed these at Ikea as an afterthought when I came for the cabinets.

That is a nice cabinet, good find there.

Also second how good your models look, I like the theme you have for your army.

Awesome idea - love it! and the models look great!
