someone told me before, hobbyist can spend a big amount of money on model kit but when comes to display case they tend to save money.. I think he is right since u already spend so much on model kits u should buy a nice display case to bring out the kit.. not saying nice should be expensive, but buy a nice one that can last for awhile and looks good when u display ur babies in it.

I think that happen because when buy kits you don't see the total amount spend but when seeing display case price tag, kecut hati to fork out money.

QUOTE(acestoro @ Apr 12 2013, 03:22 PM) for those that have asked me previously i'm using this. The light I have diy myself using batteries LED light I don't like that one because the door block your view. For me the reason for display is so that you can see them, so if you can't see them then the display shelves lost half of its purpose.http://www.ikea.com/my/en/catalog/products/10213586/ this one can last u for quite awhile, the onyl negative is that if u don't install light, you can't see much after u close the cabinet door.. So far among collector this one is highly recommended for non custom made display shelf : http://www.ikea.com/my/en/catalog/products/70182172/ Though the reason I bought Billy (2 of them too) instead of Detolf was because Detolf is smaller and more limiting i.e. Detolf is suitable if you want to display your most precious collection (and not all) |

QUOTE(Exiled_Gundam @ Apr 12 2013, 04:40 PM) u can build it alone but u nid to do it out of order from the manual and u hav to lean the back glass panel against something. Generally just be creative when the manual says u nid 2 ppl but its doable. |

Just check the review of HGUC Ez8. They improve the joint but feel disappointing with the parts separation color

EZ8 dont have many color so its forgiven to have some missing colorthe beam rifle is now with correct color compared to MG kit(though still need to paint it) |

well.. i collected the kits was surprised there's no panel lining done since the seller have over 100 kit so I thought he must have
done quite alot of work on his kits.. he basically just snap fit. I'll repaint and do panel lining on those I acquire when I have the time.. I think out of the 3 the crossbone need the most major work.. not because of the seller but the kit design.. parts keep dropping off.. zzz Level 3 of my cabinet will be for my sangokuden sd collection + the shin musha.. haven got the time to build my musha MKII yet.. must probably lu bv non bandai will be at this level. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 2nd level mostly for my 1/144 scale and sd kit.. find that sd kits take up alot of space so I just stick the display stand and now my sd kit seem to be flowing in the air » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « do let me know if u have any good ideas on displaying sd kit. |
