Yes, love the cleaness of it. Thank you for sharing. These kinds of shares are the coolest to me

Great to see you've completed the room! I love how you've subtly added the "I, Robot" title behind your props. A very nice touch.

The mannequin half looks superb in the cabinet. Great little I Robot display!

That witchking helmet is wicked!

Like others have said I like it b/c it's not cluttered. It looks like a functioning room rather than looking like a toy store or dealers table at a convention. It's tasteful.

As others have said, great collection and superb display - very clean and classy. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Incidentally, I think your LOTR border is the highlight of the room, IMHO. I would absolutely love to do something like that in my home office, but the only way I could is if I had stencils to paint with - freehand painting is definitely not one of my talents.

To create the border, i simply blew up and printed the script out on a few a4 sheets of paper, 4 in total. I then carefully cut the text out, leaving the a4 sheets with the script outline. Taped the script together in two sections, and held on the wall whilst i stencilled round the script. I then used a bronze / gold paint to fill in the penciled text on the wall. It worked out really well. As the text was in the middle of the a4 sheets, the top of the sheets was held against the ceiling to give me a straight line. Although time consuming, it wasn't a difficult task.

I'll post pictures of my original stencil later tonight, so you get the idea, of how i done it.

What bookcase system is that?

Great stuff! Nice set up. Not too crowded and not too 'in yer face'. Once i get a place of my own...thats the sort of displays i want...but all round the house not just in one room.

Glad the stand worked out ok.

It does indeed sound time-consuming, but also like something that even I, with my very rudimentary skills, could possibly pull off. I don't know that I could get it to come out as nice as yours, but I'd have fun trying. Thanks for posting all of the info.

That would be great! I look forward to seeing the pics, although the last thing I need is yet another project to tackle.

Whoops. I just PMed you asking how you did the paint job before reading below... Great room!

Ok, as promised here are some pics of the stencil & Border up close












Also, to create a nice backing finish, within the bookcase's, i used Picture frame mounting board, bought from the local hobbycraft store. Cut the boards to size and glued them inside the bookcase. The boards are great, loads of colours to choose from, easy to work with, and like i have done with the i-Robot logo, easy to cut into the top coloured paper layer and remove to reveal the white paper underneath. I feel it gives a very professional display. The boards are really inexpensive as well.





P.S i've not finished the backing as yet, ran out of board, need to go buy some more!!!

Is that Rambo next to Boromir? LOL!
