[QUOTE="Darthin, post: 268913, member: 4979"] Inspired by a blog I can't remember the name of, I decided to display my loose figure collection in a custom glass frame, made by simply connecting two IKEA Ribba frames (deep version) by top-mounted hinges. It displays nicely, and takes up very little space which is a rare commodity in my house;) I decided to do the ROTJ line first, which is why I chose to use two deep frames as Gam Guard and the Rancor keeper are too bulky to fit within the depth of a single frame (ex the Rebo band which will have to have their own case made). I cut out a piece of foamcard as backing, onto which I glued blue cardboard to emulate the blister background colour from the vintage cardbacks. Then I carefully aligned the figures and used thin, transparent elastic thread to fix the figures in place, with their weapons likewise mounted beside each figure: [ATTACH=full]135459[/ATTACH] Case opened, with a foam strip added to prevent dust [ATTACH=full]135460[/ATTACH] Close-up of how I fixed each figure and weapon: [ATTACH=full]135461[/ATTACH] Am about to mount it onto the wall today, and intend to do the same for the SW and ESB runs. Oh, and here's a delayed Xmas gift from the missus which arrived yesterday: [ATTACH=full]135462[/ATTACH] Good times ;) Martin [/QUOTE]
