New Display case concept

[GeneralZodLives]

The drawer slides are rated to hold 75 pounds. Each drawer is almost the size of a small box so I should be within limits if I were to fill each drawer to the max.

Ah, I thought they were the size of long boxes. You shouldn't have any problems if they're the length of short boxes. I love seeing you getting this all put together. Really makes me wish I had space available to do this. I've got 30 long boxes though.

That's the thing...if you have space for 30 long boxes, then you must have space to build something similar.

That unit can probably hold a car. I remember over-engineerinng and building cabinets to hold 1500lbs aquariums back in the day. WOW, that's an insanely heavy case. Looking great!

But you know you could have used about 50% less material right?

Not in my storage unit--unfortunately I had to choose between displaying statues/figures or comics. The statues/figures won. Someday I'll some more space to get everything together.

Oh definitely...but I got such a great price on the materials I couldn't resist. And since the case will have $10K worth of statues on top of it....I didn't want to take any chances.

Really nice work.

Put the finishing touches on "The Beast" tonight. All that's left is to load the comics and arrange the statues on top.

Damn! Well done!

Pixel: any suggestions for lighting?

Beautiful!

Unless you have ceiling mounted spot lights I think the only other option is striplights infront of the statues.
You could mask the strips with a bit of trim. Depends if you like the uplight effect.

Recessed lights in the ceiling above the statues would work well if you want to retrofit them. Otherwise as Col mentioned, spots somewhere else on the ceiling pointing at the display area. With uplighting you may get (more) very noticeable reflections on the posters in the background.
