I think that you can tempah from cenderamata shop. Maybe you can get it at RM 50

I think what Sealmaster is refering to is the Billy book case which is RM200+. You can also add customisable glass door if you are scared of dust collecting but that will round up to RM500+. Still....the book case looks good. I'm saving money for one.

detolf looks cool, but for me i am renting a room, it is too troublesome if i need to move..so i can only opt for wall shelf.

1/6th figures with all those fabrics are not easy to clean once they gather dust. i got no choice but to keep them in their box.

ikea's things were high quality, reasonable price, n simply "delicious"
i heard tat every things sale there were given 20years warranty...izit?

Here's mine. The content's do change from time to time.

mini tour..

At the ground floor, you will see the construction bay for Perfect grade GP01.

1st floor is purely for gundams. mg wing0,mg ez8,mg F91, there is a mg God hanging from a string to save space, silver painted double x .....

2nd floor is a mix of patlabor, gashapon figures, an evangelion hanging from a string.

3rd floor will be my finished and partly finished 1/24 car models. Car's include skyline xanavi gt-r, kansai bnr32, trueno ae86,altezza, honda today (you're under arrest), rx-8. This floor also has several tiny tomica metal cars.

On the roof top , you'll meet 1/60 Freedom, mg strike freedom, mg freedom (hk expo edition) and a mg rx-78-4.

Several postcards of jolin are on the side of the 2nd and 3rd floor.
-------------------------

Small brown cabinet at the side to keep all the spray paints, gunze/tamiya acrylic paints and thinners, glues,decal softeners and other materials or brushes.

On the chair are the boxes of models i haven't moved to somewhere else. It's naturally there. I didn't purposely put it there just for the picture.

hey nlik, nice pic. do dust get into the cabinet ? planning to get one too

nlik, is that a Detolf?
white top and bottom looks nice compared to wooden colour of detolf

carpathia, yes a tiny little bit of dust still get's in, as there is a gap of about 2mm at each side of the door. Definitely much less that leaving it outside. A tip!.. keep your place clean,sweep/mop often which helps.

e-jump, paiseh, I don't even know what is a detolf. . I bought this from a furniture shop ( can't remember puchong or the furniture center at the side of sg besi near sri petaling already). Definitely not ikea.

No brand 1 la but fell in love wif it when i saw it. yeah.. I like the white top,bottom and the lighting colors . There is a pyramid shaped crystal that give out the pink light on the 3rd floor.

A lock is provided on the top right of the door.

The bad thing about this is the white backbone at the center that runs from the base to the top which takes up some space.

@nlik, but from the looks of it, its look HUEG!! whats the size n price?
Detolf is only 163x43x37cm @rm199. I still havent found alternatives yet at normal furniture shop (mostly are made of woods)

checked ikea website and now I know what's a detolf. Rm199 , it's not bad waad.. Seems to give more space than mine a well . if you want white, just get white spray/ hand paint + matt/gloss clear coat and diy! Lights can diy also.

Ai.. if not mistaken, i bought this for Rm600 sakit. Size wize, I can't remember but I'll get the measurements tomorrow or something. At least it's quite solid , if you hold the top and try to shake it, no swaying lor.

below is detolf picture from ikea website..

probably problem with this cabinet is got many gaps in between the opening door.can seal the gaps with fill-in tapes but look really weird la after that.
good price but ur models sure got dust on it after a while.
ur display cabinet is not bad what...but quiter expensive i'm sure.i saw the similiar in furniture shop (shops along sg.besi highway) is abt 800+

i thought for the glass door, we can put transparent rubber seals at the edges, something like car wiper. at least it will reduce the gap

how bout this ??

Those are too exclusive for me

i checked out those wooden display cabinets at furniture shops around my area on sat n today. jeebus, most of em cost around rm700 n above (and like Jackygwh posted would cost near 2k) @_@

--------------

anyway, look wat i has today

*down-light comes separately
its a whoopin 40kgs. my mom cant carry it at all. lucky an ikea trolley guy help to tug it in my ride.
oh, i nearly left the lights at the counter, lucky when im back, the counter girl still there waiting. duh~ what a day.
kudos to ikea crews

*assembly comes tonight or later this weekend

-----------
built it last nite w/ dad

this company make display case, but it's more for commercial though so the price is quite high display case
the unic system with the price rm1011 is just perfect for displaying our model kit and figures
i oso found a shop near my house that sells those cases modeller usually use for diaroma. not sure how much it cost though

Sorry to dig up an old post but regarding IKEA DETOLF, how did you guys manage to bring it home? I mean they state "We pack it so it fits even into your Kancil", but I saw the packing it's taller than me, so unless you put it on the roof, it won't fit a Kancil. Even normal car boot doesn't have enough space for it so I'm guessing putting it lying on the front to back passenger seat is the only way, but they 47kg package needs 2-3 person to carry it, how will any normal car fit the cabinet & 3 person??? I don't wanna pay RM65 for the delivery as time of delivery is also an issue.

Also how many people does it take to assemble the whole cabinet? Any better alternatives to IKEA?

I never bought big items from Ikea and I went there alone just to find out the facts, yes I went alone thinking i can get a cabinet back! There's a couple there looking at the cabinets they were also thinking how they gonna buy it...

tat time i bought my detolf, my bro helped me... driving swift ler...
can fit in the car lor, front to back... @@

Built 3 in one go.... the last one took me approx 15 minutes to complete... all done fixing done by my lonesome.. you just need a sturdy wall to layout all the glass.. I modify the building instructions/method, to built it from the bottom up... not top down (and flip it) as suggested, otherwise will be hard to complete it by yourself...

1 unbuilt, just just need 2 average male or just 1 strong person (+ trolley) to carry ...
