Bonedaddy's Collection (lots of nightmare before christmas)

Looks brilliant! Can't wait to see the finished product, and congrats on the Maul! I have Grievous coming in March, which will be my first 1:1 bust.

So did you decide to keep the Hellboy 1 PF?

Thanks. That Grievous bust looks cool. You may get the 1:1 addiction after you receive it LOL.

I'm still selling the Hellboy PF..just not in a huge rush to get rid of it.

I'm working on another set of Bestas and changing up the displays. This is a work in progress

HOLY CRAP ..... NOW THATS AWESOME. :chew
Do you need to drill the doors on ? , and if so did you drill them off again ?.

I still need to pick the doors up.

Edit : looking at that photo again the hellboy bust looks ten times better too. I would keep it where it is .

Thanks! The doors just screw on...only drilling I do is to the back to run the wire for the lights.

awesome.
Someone in Ikea mentioned to me the bestas need attatching to the wall with a bracket to hold them up and support the weight of whatever is in them.
I noticed one of your bestas is against a wall that dips in so I presume this isn't supported by a wall bracket ?.

Thanks for the replys , there seriously appreciated.

This was the first Besta setup I bought and it was dang near a perfect fit into a recessed section of my wall. Almost seems like it's built in.

It's so tight in there it'll never be pulled out. The newer Besta setup I have is isn't screwed to the wall either. I have them all on legs that allow me to prop the front to eliminate any forward lean. It's like $10 for a box of 2 legs at Ikea.

Thats a Sick Setup

wow, love all your nmb4xmas stuff!

I guess you are not planning on putting glass door on these Bestas.
Looks awesome though.

Awesome. Thanks for the help man. Thats probably just saved me quite a bit then.
A woman I was speaking to in Ikea led me to belive the wall brackets were needed or else it would fall apart if anything was in it.
Obviously thats not the case.
She must of meant the forward lean like you mentioned.
The bestas seem very strong either way , surely with these heavy busts and statues in it wouldn't fall forward.

The reason I'm so interested with the fact that I was told they " need " the wall brackets is because I have a pipe which goes straight across the bottom of the wall I was hoping for them to go against and if I would of needed to add a wall bracket it would of been difficult since it would of been a few inches away from the wall.
Thanks for the help mate.

So even with all of those pieces in the Besta, wall brackets are not needed? And how would you prevent the forward lean?

Thanks for the link, but I still didn't really see a straight forward answer. How do you have yours set up?

I personally don't have mine setup yet but was debating wheter to find a way to put them on brackets and connect them to the wall or not.
I have asked around and it would seem most people don't use the brackets anyway but instead put feet on the units and ( I think ) screw the back ones in a little more than the front giving it a tiny lean back.
I haven't personally seen them setup in my home so I'm still not 100% sure what I'm going to do yet but if theres a way I can set them up without the brackets I probably will.

Again sorry for hijacking your thread bonedaddy.
