5 Mistakes To Avoid With Your DIY Garage Display Case

Discover the five key mistakes to avoid when converting a garage shelving unit into a display case for your Hot Toys collection.
In this video, I address the biggest mistake most collectors have made but don’t appear to be discussed in videos and tutorials covering the process of building a DIY display case.

Amazing video very valuable information , just wish I had known before my doors started falling off because I didn’t glue them in the first place. Lol

[@sixthscaleshero]

It’s happened to all of us, which is why I made this video. I don’t get why more people aren’t giving the heads up about needing to glue the magnets 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks, I think… 🤔

I actually need 3 layers of magnetic tape in order for them to sit flush. Great informative video Allison! ❤❤

Thank you, cousin Jan 🙏

completely agree on the glue to magnetic tape, mine are peeling away. I am going to completely redo them as my vinyl tape looks less than stellar, and im going to use gaffers tape to give it more of a matte finish

If I had my time again, I’d have done a printed border on the acrylic. Hope the re-do of the tape goes well for you.

I just built mine and looking to do the acrylic soon. I have the garage rack that has holes exposed and I am assuming it's a good idea to not make one giant piece of acrylic but make it in sections for the front and sides?

[@sixthscaleshero]

For the side panels, I did one long piece but used thinner acrylic (2mm). If you are using a shelving unit like mine, then consider my bonus tip from this video and add an extra strip of magnetic tape at the top and bottom of the side panels for added security. For the front panels, I went with 3mm acrylic and did individual panels for each shelf. This means the magnets are having to deal with less weight and, for me, this makes it more manageable when I need to remove a panel to make changes to my display. (My shelving unit is 2.09m high, so removing and storing one large panel would be difficult.)
