U still can adjust the shell slightly smaller and add in additional shell to create more space to display ur collection. For ur infor, each Billy book case i custom it into 12 level which originally only 6 level.

No need tempered glass brother, normal 4mm glass will do. Any glass and aluminium shop can custom any sizes u want. But bare in mind, thicker glass come with heavier weight. Ideal is 4mm for Billy book case cabinet. I get mines around RM20 each. blush.gif

hmm... dunno why ikea didn't come out with glass shelves for their billy series. hemnes tempered glass shelves are only rm10 for a 44x29. anyway, you drilled extra holes above and below the hinges, huh? i kinda wondered why ikea never did, but i supposed it was for installation convenience.

anyway, back to topic... where are the rest of your fac??? looks like 8 models only?

zemperor, the giant warplanes and others that were not in the fac malaysian edition i got from ebay. no magazine, though.

blu3hamm3r, after my shipment of 1/100 italeri came in, i didn't have the luxury of spacing the aircrafts as such. these pictures were prior to the italeris arrival. the display is currently too congested to my liking.

thanks for the info notworthy.gif
but i guess it won't be cheap to get it from ebay... and no magazine too...
just have to patiently wait for the giant warplanes to malaysia market...

from ebay average slightly above us$20/model (incl shipping) so yeah, more than double the fac retail price. but i think if you're willing to pay a little bit more (around us$5) you could choose to get the models from amercom-hobby which comes with the magazine Amercom-Hobby

off topic... there's another saber further right whistling.gif

€17.50 is for the big bombers. most of the other giant warplanes €14.00. as for the fac models... only €10.90 la. and no, i don't work for amercom-hobby. hehe. anyway, better to save save save then one shot hantam a dozen or more to save on shipping cost rather than beli sikit-sikit.

anyway now that bro blu3hamm3r has given me ideas to increas my display space, i may be tempted to get more italeri models...

Ikea name it as Billy book case mean it made for book storage. Glass shelve cant stand for book load as the length and width of the cabinet is so big. 44x29 inch? Excatly same as ikea shelve sizes? Yup, i use hand drill to drill extra hole in order for me to install the glass holder plug.

This picture took few years back. blush.gif Lot of changers compare to now....hehe.... whistling.gif

true... true... billy is bookcase, not display cabinet. but even then the shelves will sag over the years. 44x29cm la... to fit the hemnes series. if inches is super huge, bro. you use glass shelf plugs? me thinking of using the existing shelf holder plug enclosed in pvc tubing to prevent the glass from moving.

back to topic... post your latest collection now la.
