Cool. Time to order mine then

So I have just picked up the puredisplay case for my DeLorean and wondering how best to get it on the wall.

I don't have enough floor space for a coffee table or furniture like that. Ideally it needs to be on a shelf but is that possible? Don't generally see shelving that deep around. I lack imagination for this.

Maybe one of those wall mounts for microwave ovens is something for you.

Just put a piece of wood or something else on it.
I didn't realise how cheap it was to get wood cut to size. I can get a sheet of melamine faced chipboard to my exact specification, 18mm thick, for barely over £10. With big strong brackets it should easily take the weight of the car?
If you are going for floating brackets, it's debatable. But if you use traditional L-brackets, it should be fine. The guide is that the lower down the brackets extend below the shelf, the more weight is transferred to the wall over a larger surface area.
Definitely L-brackets, no way I'd risk floating ones. Most of the one's I'm looking at say they take between 50 and 75kg. It's going on a proper exterior wall to so hopefully no danger of it falling down.
It will probably be shown. As to whether it will be up for PO anytime soon...

It will be shown but i still believe it will never happen. Tbh, part2 marty and doc are my only POs and once i have them, im out of the game. I cant justify spending over £220 on a figure and if the hover delorean happens, i see that will be at least £700 which is ridiculous considering how innaccurate it will be.
Yeah i feel ya i'm getting Marty and the Doc and either the Blitzway Ecto-1 or the Hot Toys Delorean hover version and then like you i'm gonna call it quits on this hobby.

I would get the ecto myself as im willing to bet it will be more accurate than the delorean. However, i already have the part 1 delorean which sways my decision a bit. Still, the prices are getting out of hand. Its not really been a gradual increase either. Its jumped from £180 to £230. Thats £50!!!
If a part3 marty and doc happen, i will probably get those but i dont see it happening. I think the bttf line is dead after part2

Sadly I'm inclined to agree. You'd expect given Batman's appeal the BVS Batmobile would be a bigger seller than the DeLorean so if they cancel that it's hard to see them making the hover DeLorean now. Obviously I hope I'm wrong.

I'm hoping the future 1/8 eagle moss Delorean comes to the US. I already have the part I Delorean, and if the time circuits don't light up on the part II, don't think I can justify the cost to basically have 2 of the same car.

It will be going to the US. I think eaglemoss and universal are in disscussions about how to distribute it.
Im willing to bet the time circuits will not light up on the part 2 version
You aren't too impressed with the HT Delorean? It's a bummer the time circuits arent lit but apart from that I still think it's pretty awesome. Only had it a couple of weeks though.

Ive modded it a little and am happier with it but it should have been so much better considering the detail theyve gone to on their previous cars. Its the interior that i had problems with. Its so bear and clean. I also had to make a lightning rod too

I agree. The bare inside is an easier fix though. The time circuits not lighting up bothers me and the blue white headlights. I wish the headlight were more yellow white. Don't get me wrong though, I still love it. I wouldn't have spent $800 if I didn't. I do think it is overpriced, but how many companies are going to make a 1/6 time machine? The eagle moss has me really excited though.

Are you doing the eaglemoss one? I hate partworks myself but i couldnt say no to this.
Great work you've done there sirdoctor. Was that coloured wiring very tricky to do?
I thought the time circuits did light up when they first showed the part 1 prototype. Love to know why they decided against it in production, can't have saved that much money surely.
