You could wrap some black tape around that white wire

Oh, I will. I just mounted it.

 

[KingB]

I spray painted my wires black.

I have had them for a few years now.

Check out my collection thread. I have some overall pics of my collection room that show my white besta (I've sold it since and now have a white PAX).

Actually...here is a pic for you:

Yeah i like it that they van fit two pf's. Can they fit 3 in some circumstances?

On one of the custom threads someone was making custom bases for certain pfs gambit and rogue for example. They looked awesome not sure if he is still making or selling them but that reduces the footprint of multiple large bases and you could probably fit three with one of those bases holding two of the pfs.

My wall-mount (shallow depth) Besta has interior dimensions of 22.25"W x 22.75"H for each side with a hair under 7.25" Depth - it's a double-wide unit with fixed divider in the middle.

Anyone know where to find the link to the shallow depth ones like in the pic above?

Nice.
First time I've seen DD in a display, nearly bought that a couple of times.
Cool statue but he looks tiny compared to other 1:5/1:4 pieces...Shame!

DD is nice, but I've actually sold him since I took that pic.

Just asking again, anyone know the weight limit of the wall mounted cubes?

Just asking again, anyone know the weight limit of the wall mounted cubes?

There is no way of saying what a cube fixed to the wall will hold it all depends on the wall you are fixing it to and the type of fixing used.
For example if you use this...

It wont hold as much weight as using these...

The better the fixing the more weight it will hold.
I have a punchbag attached to the wall using the second example of fixing, to a solid brick wall, so they will hold a huge weight.
I wouldn't put more than 30kg in one anyway as that is the manufactures guide to what a shelf will hold.
Hope this helps.

Hey Took.
Why don't you get how as many of these as you need...
https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/S49887677/

You can have the top two full sized cubes then split the bottom cube with the adjustable shelves. Each shelf can hold 30kg according to Ikea.
Hope this helps.

Is there a reason you wanted them 2 1/2 cubes high?
Limitations?

Are they basically 3 Besta unit's in 1?
Exactly the same size?
Also i want to had a shelf at the back for raised 1/6 scale any idea what size shelf i get?

 

[joda76]

So has anyone painted a Besta before? Customized in anyway?

Yeh, just the same as 3 cubes in one solid unit.
I don't do 1:6 but I believe they do a half depth shelf for your needs.

Liverpool? I was born there now living on the Wirral

Painting?
Sounds interesting but i was going to get the 3M DI-NOC carbon wrap and do it that way.

What is that exactly? Decal?

Yes but it is amazing stuff , just google it and people cover their cars in it.
I like the matte version best but they now do colours too.
Make sure you buy the legit 3M DI-NOC and not the cheapo version.
You just heat it with a hairdryer would look stunning but the stuff is expensive in big sheets.
