    I picked up my next project today for $50. I already removed most of the contact paper on the outside. Still have a ways to go. I like how this one has a mirrored insides and lighting.

    Thank you both. I’m happy with how it came out. It matches the previous case well enough because I used the same laminates. I thought it would be big enough to hold my generations and some G1 but it’s looking a bit cluttered. I kind of just put everything in there last night to see how it would look. I’m going to take some things out and set it up nicer soon.
    I also have a third case that I bought for $50. It doesn’t need too much work compared to the other two because it’s mostly glass with an aluminum frame as opposed to wood but the lighting does not work so I have to sort it out. 3E5DC7D1-66B0-4D76-AC73-1A04EB0D34F9.jpeg

    21", I really like that depth as it gives everything room. I can't make that work with my design best I could do is 18" as I would run out of floor space guess I'll have to figure out a new display setup. Thanks for the info.

    Ok, got my last cabinet for my figures. This will be it.

    Really need Ikea to bring back the glass Tombo doors or bring the Fiskviken doors to the US for their BESTA cabinets.

    Hmm, never saw those. Are the shelves height really adjustable? I think I passed on those since I think they weren't as much as the Bestas.

    @Dinobot Snarl and @Predakwon: Check two pages back, post #335 written by @FattyMoBookyBut on the Milsblo.

    I also made a post in the Milsblo shelf somewhere in this thread (on page 14) and I'm sure that the shelves are adjustable.

    Milsblo are very expensive as it costs $230 CND/$200 USD for one.

    Because I seem to have a need/sickness for upgrading my display. I saw some free glass on kijiji and picked it up yesterday. Five massive tempered glass panes. 10’ long by 36” wide 1/2” thick. Absolutely huge and heavy. They are too tall to work vertically as I’d hoped for a rolling track system so I think they need to be built horizontally. I won’t be working on it for a while. Still need to plan it out. C9F45519-548E-48C7-B25B-C41B34491483.jpeg
