Chakaman's customs, mods and repaints

[bbl]

I was going to offer you my office to display your figures but i guess that's not needed . Great display. Nice stairs with jabba. Made them yourself?



Best,

I was beginning to run out of display shelf space. So, my project this weekend was to move the flatscreen etc, add LED lights and a couple of shelves to the middle section. I still plan on re-painting everything, but this is a preview of what it will look like in the near future.

IMPRESSIVE! Which figures will be placed bottom left?

You need to put a basketball or some other readily recognized object in that empty shelf (for a single photo only) so people can really appreciate the scale of this massive display wall. I'm sure some people looking at the photo (quickly) might think it's 3 3/4 figures in a small shelving unit.

Thanks. You are probably right. Im in the middle of painting it right now, so the only items that I have handy are a chair and a trash can. For you SW peeps, their is my son's vintage 3 3/4 scale Death Star playset on the floor too. Sorry for the blurry pic.

I should have plenty of room for Tauntauns, more customs and future SSC releases when I am finished.

Thanks. Im not sure yet. I will probably re-arrange my entire display once I get everything painted and lit the way I want it.

Ha! Thanks mate! Actually Duane made those for me a few years ago. They are very nice and very light.

Here is a shot of where I am at on the middle section. I probably will leave Han and Jabba where they are, the other figures were just placed there to see where best to attach the puck lights.

Never can get enough of those shelves Chris. Looking forward to seeing the new layout.

Cool setup Chris. Shame the TV had to go. Watching the movies looking at that wall would've been awesome.

Cheers man!!

Thanks Jeff. I can still watch movies and look at the wall at the same time, I just have to turn my head to the right. The reason we moved the TV to the adjacent wall is to make better use of the space in our basement. The extra benefit is that I get some more room to display stuff.

what an awesome looking display wall ...am dead jealous !.

 

[generalgrevious]

hey chaka what kind of led lights are you using? im looking for the correct type to use on my glass display case

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks guys.

Ed, I got the LEDs at Lowe's. They are the Utilitech puck lights. They cost me $19.98 per 2 pack. A little pricey, but I like how they look. They are battery powered which I like, no power cords.

hey chris thanks. I might get the ones with the power cord because they drain the heck out of those AAA batteries after one day and it cost more money buying batteries all the time. oh one more question what type of body could I use for lando

I hear ya. These take AAs. I will only have my display lit though when I have people coming over or when I want to take some pics. The extra cost is worth not having to see power cords all over place.

Lando, I am using a TT knockoff from ebay.

 

[generalgrevious]

hey chris thanks someday I will have to send you a photo of my collection under glass.

 

[Chakaman]

I have pretty much got everything painted and the lighting where I want it to be. I will probably move some things around, but here is what it looks like now....

I still have quite a bit of space for future releases and customs. I will take some better pics soon.

 

[One-Figure-Collector]

I really like the poses of your figures. Could you post a closer picture of ANH Obi Wan and Luke?

 

[Spudtrooper]

Freaking amazing dude!

In one word, that wall can only be described properly as "EPIC." So awesome (damn, that's two words now).
