Honestly .... not only it looks INCREDIBLE but your tutorial is sooooo good. Thank you dude.. for spending your time to show us how to do it and for linking all the items. Can't thank you enough
Amazing!!! It's amazing how far a little creativity and skill goes! This video is a testament to saving money. Like you can go the expensive route and buy a shelf at inflated price, or you can use a little extra time and stimulate your creativity and skills and build an amazing display like this one! I've gotta do this sometime soon!
I would like to start off by saying thank you so very much for taking the time to create this video for all of us sir. I to am a toy collector and I'm needing another display for my Masterpiece and vintage G1 Transformers. Along with my Masters of the Universe and Mythic Legions figs. I found a slew of those metal shelving units behind a Wal-Mart by my place. Maybe they'll let me have or buy a few. Thanks again for the most awesome idea!
Thanks for the great video. It's nice seeing someone else going outside the ubiquitous detolfs (they're so limiting). Just got a Uline 48X18 wire shelf unit - can fit so many figures on one shelf! And height isn't a problem.
Amazing what you have done!! Well done . I’m debating to create my own hot toys shelf because i have moducases and both there black& white cases but I like the white cases better because of my home interior and don’t want to go through moducase again they are expensive and take forever . This creativity of your home made case really helps come up with a design thank you so much sir!! Awesome case
Awesomeness! I appreciate the feedback! I hope all goes well with your future project, and feel free to come back and ask questions if you need any help in the future!
Really like this video I’ve been looking all over RU-vid but a lot of the video skips out on details we need to see! How does the glass/acrylic work does it open in and out slides? Can you go more into how it will open and close
Simple! I used adhesive magnets (Linked in description) and glued the magnets onto the plexiglass around the shape of the frame! Then it just sticks on and off of the frame with the magnets! Hope this helps out, and thank you for checking out the video!
Great project idea. Thanks so much for sharing. Just what I need for my sudden Gunpla collecting fever. I'm running out of shelf space. One question though. How do you open in case you want to make changes on display or to add figures?
Amazing man I just bought a house not long ago and I’ve been dying to get my hands on some of these nice looking display cases but I didn’t want to spend an arm and leg for them..thank you so much I’m going to try this and see how it goes
Nice job. Im sticking with my detolfs for at least another year. But doing something like this is so much more tempting than spending £1,500 on moducases and waiting a year to get them too.
This helped me out so much. A heartfelt thank you! I wanted to also ask, how much weight do you think the glass shelves with the middle support hold? I have about four Sideshow premium formats that I want to display on one of them, as an example! Thanks again!
I’ve never owned a premium format! So I’m unfamiliar with the weight of them. To be on the safe side, I would ask at the hardware store if they have a thicker piece of glass and use that for them!
Thanks for the video; learned a lot from it. Was wondering, when you spray painted the metal frame, did you need to seal it after with a clear coat or is it not necessary with the krylon fusion paint that you used?
Oh heck yes! I would definitely get thicker glass. Or use the wood boards that come with the shelf, and paint them white! But the frame is heavy duty shelving rated for around 1,000lbs! You should be able to load these shelves down with no problem. Just as long as you get thicker glass shelves. The frame also has middle support for the shelving as welll! Hope this helps out.
Another question. My frame is grey and I do want it as black. I didn’t know weather to tape everything with black vinyl tape or spray paint it. Did you have to sand down your frame before spray painting? Also metallic? Thanks for the help man I appreciate it. I can’t wait to get all the supplies because the end product it looks amazing. Basically like a moducase.
@@shroomgod1990 yes! I used non prep gloss black spray paint! No prep needed, just spray lightly and cover the entire frame! I’ve built 3 of these now, and it’s the perfect budget moducase!
