    May 6, 2012 - Show off: My new Star Wars office/man cave/prop display - Picture heavy #1

    Hi guys!

    I was going to wait with the show off still, as I was hoping to have the Elm Studios Emperor there for the pics, but I thought "what the heck, you'll just take new ones when it arrives".

    Short introduction: I just recently moved in with my girlfriend (a very lovely, nerdy and understanding woman ) and got my own room as an office/prop room.

    I've been building and collecting for almost 10 years now (not counting the action figure days when I was a teen ), and in my old place I just didn't have a proper display solution. Well now I have! And I thought it was well worth showing off, so here you go:

    The entire wall (almost all my stuff is on display there now)




    a closer look at the detolfs:




    One of the highlights - A v3.1 Cyberman Yoda:




    A bit brighter:


    The "trooper bits and bobs" shelf:


    And the "droid bits and bobs" shelf:


    And finally, standing guard at the entrance, my RS Propmasters Stormtrooper:



    In case some might wonder, the entire display wall is "powered by ikea". 4 Detolfs (that I bought used on eBay) standing on two Lack tv units (with the legs left off), and topped off with two Ekby Amund shelves. The Vader bust, Yoda and Salacious are put on top of Expedit cubes, which I can't find online at ikea, but they did have them at the store. The LED lights I got from a local Euro shop though

    I actually stole the basic idea for it from someone on here, I sadly don't remember who it was, could have been ONEYE.

    Anyway, I hope you like it as much as I do

    I should have posted it on Friday, May the 4th and all, but I just got time to take pictures today... still, to be a little cheesy: May the Force be with the RPF, as a lot of what you see on these pics wouldn't have been possible without this fine community!

    As I said I did borrow it myself.

    I just did a quick search, I bookmarked this pic as reference, so I guess credit goes to ONEYE indeed: ONEYE's display

    It's really stunning!
    I saw the display several times at Dan's home... As Darth Vader would say, "Impressive, most impressive!"

    Very cool. I was never a big fan of the Detolf cases, but this I can dig

    Really looks great. Shows how important the lighting can be. I need to remember that.

    Curious - I love the ANH droid head. Where did you get that?!

    Also, great trooper. What kind of armor is it.

    Thanks

    That's a great display. Very clean and professional. Love it!

    I had always thought about making a wood plank that connected the Detolf shelves, well done.

    The CZ-3 droid head was sculpted and cast by zorg, finished by me.

    The Stormtrooper is an RS Propmasters PVC kit, built by me.

    I wondered how long it would take you guys to see it. It's a special one off RS Propnasters original vacformed piece just for me. It's a long story...

    But just like the R2 hat it's a token of friendship and therefore deserves to be on display

    Awesome looking display mate. Looks really professional and complete with out that crowded look you usually find with some displays. I love the lighting as well.

    Beautiful display! Is that ANH Solo blaster a custom build?

    It's just a Denix Mauser with some resin bits slapped on. Not totally accurate, but it was just a quick project as I had both the Mauser and the parts lying around.

    Very cool display, Dan Cool items presented very tastefully... I particularly like the 'Old Ben' Kenobi bust, with the light shining on it

    Cheers,
