Building an Action Figure Display Case - Part 4

[@stephenpenor9957]

@the smugglers room I became an instant fan when I saw your Bobba Fett Slave-1 recreation! Your projects and room is so dang awesome! May the force be with you always! -Stephen Penor

[@jdubs1007]

Your display case needs a Display Case!! Way Awesome!!

[@darrenbell71]

Going through your older videos while on lockdown (and there's NOTHING on the streaming services wasteland). Entertaining and informative ideas that are inspiring me to tackle some projects that were previously in the "too hard" basket. Thanks so much for these!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you Darren, so glad you are finding inspiration here, that is the single most reason we started this channel. Much appreciated!

[@starwarsarmory524]

I don't know how you do it! Every episode is unique and equally entertaining! Can't wait to see what's next! :D

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Can't tell you how much I/We appreciate you saying this. We have a blast and hope that we provide good content and value to you all. Thank you for watching!!!

[@fsj197811]

I've commented on a number of your videos over the last few months since i found your channel. I think your builds, including this one, are SUPER cool. And at the same time I also realize that to a large degree they're non-functional. Lots of wasted (functionality wise) space. But so cool at the same time. Very artistic and in that way is is not at all a waste. It just seems... Like all of it should DO something. 🙂 As always, thanks for sharing.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

It's a fair point. I suppose that is the challenge. Thanks

[@petebutler5139]

DuDe!! Excellent vid!! Great suggestions!! All of which I have used 1000 times but it’s amazing how, a refresher or a reminder tells you, “Hey stupid, you’ve done this before so don’t forget about this technique!” I have used models for parts to accentuate another model and backdrops but never thought about using them for an action figure display case. I have shared this video 1000 times and I highly recommend all, “custom builders“ watch this video!! Are you in the Atlanta area? I would love to get together and swap ideas. My hang out is my garage! 😜

[@purrosleukos253]

So great, the display is pure awesomeness and deserves a universal round of applause so take a bow the king of greeblification!!!!!!!!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

PURROS Leukos LOL!!! Thanks so much!

[@darrinplank]

That turned out awesome

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

darrin plank thank you!!!!

[@christopherbandish6060]

Most impressive. I was wondering how it all would come together and you certainly did not disappoint. Now I have to make this for my 6” black series figures.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you very much! The Black Series are some of my favorites, I think you're going to enjoy next week's episode 😉

[@christopherbandish6060]

Do you have any pictures of the entire display? I don’t want to copy but just get inspired.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Christopher Bandish indeed. I will get some loaded on our community tab later this morning as well as on our Facebook page and Instagram that you can see. I'll also have them up on our website soon.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thanks Andy! Much appreciated!

[@joshuatrujillo1888]

Great video. I laughed my greeblies off. “Because I plan ahead and I’m super smart with stuff” 🤣😂

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

You just have to channel your inner Joshua . . . then awesome things happen! Thank you for watching bro!

[@ThatGeekyMaker]

I've got the whole '77-'85 collection on my wall and after seeing this, the plain wood shelf I made is just not good enough. I'm going to have to Sci-Fi it up. Oh gosh, I'm starting to see greeblies everywhere and I suddenly have a craving for Simply Juice!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

That Geeky Maker YES!!!! That’s fantastic, I can’t wait to see what you come up with as a display option. I’m drinking a little “Simply” right now myself . . . And I know exactly what I’m going to do with the lid when I’m done 🤓

[@MigMonkey]

It's really coming together! Great stuff as always

[@Weirdflex_Fett]

This video is awesome. I can't wait for a basement update

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank You!!! We will have more coming your way!

[@deannaatkinson3004]

What are the overall dimensions of this case? Great job! I especially love the use of the iPad.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Hi Deanna, it is 2' wide by 4' tall and roughly 2 3/4" deep in most places. I purchase the pre-cut MDF 1/4" sheets from Home depot, and they come in 2'x4' sizes

[@dfcprops3849]

You had too much fun in this video man... :P Nice work and those shelves really turned out great! I especially love the back drops and how much detail you added just with simple panel lines and greeblies.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Prop Rocks thank you! So glad you liked it. I did have more fun than should be allowed playing with toys! 😳

[@dfcprops3849]

@@TheSmugglersRoom there is no shame associated with adults "playing" with toys... they're only collecting action figures and proudly displaying them for everyone to see! :D

I was waiting for this! Those shelves look incredible. They really look like they came out of the death star! Btw, I'm starting a new channel called Galaxy Greeblies for all sci-fi projects!

Another great video my friend!! Told some of my coworkers to check out your channel! Keep it up Bro!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Eric Ortiz thank you sir! Appreciate you sharing it around!

[@tatooinetodd3933]

What glue do you use to attach the styrene to the MDF?

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

For this one I used 3m 77 spray adhesive. I spray the MDF and then attach the styrene. You could use super glue as well, or I have even used contact cement in the past.

[@p11_studios]

Wow, awesome project. But I’m almost a little sad that the intro didn’t have the Wilhelm scream...

[@contrivit5806]

This project came together super well! Now I'm considering making my own smaller version; and I feel like 3D printing would be super great to get the level of detail that you got on your backdrops. Just curious, have you ever used a 3D printer? If not, you NEED to look into getting one sometime. They would be amazing for the kinds of projects that you do

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you!!! You are 100%, 3D printing would be a great way to do this . . . and it wouldn't be so heavy either. LOL . Can't wait to see what you do!

Hi brian! I know the Avatar and Page belongs to my wife. But this is Brad. I'm not allowed on KZbin anymore for my political views so I have to borrow hers for a minute. I really envy your skill imagination and the tools you have to work with. Outstanding work I'm very envious. Okay I think I hate you a little bit too. 🤣. Just kidding. Outstanding work!

[@spicklesandwich]

You seem to pull a lot of videography ideas from Video Creators. "That's comin' up!" Haha. Maybe it's a coincidence. Kinda changed my perspective on the YT game. Love your stuff, dude. I don't think I'll ever do much prop-making or greebling but it's sure fun to watch and I love the result. Thought sometimes you hold that "I just delivered a joke. That was a joke." moment a little too long. Is that just me? I'd just maybe... cut those moments out. Personally. I don't mind a little campy humor, as long as you move on pretty quickly. Paces things a little better. ....If unsolicited, amateur criticism isn't annoying. Haha. Cheers.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Jason Nordin thanks Jason, I’m never above feedback from folks that take the time to watch my efforts. It’s all a work in progress. Thanks for the feedback and for watching.

[@moreorlessme]

Amazing space and work, for sure. However you don't ever seem to show a single "hero shot" at the end so we can see it all, instead its just lots of tight pans. I waited through 4 videos and never seemed to ever get a feel for the actual thing you built. Same thing on the moisture vaporator dog bowl and margarita machines.... never a single photo at the end. Very frustrating. Please show a full picture of the project at the end...not just the little zoom pans.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

We’ll do our best to improve

Brian i need an idea for my baby yoda display project. I want it special in memory of my wife that passed away few months ago. It was the last gift she gave me before she passed away.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

So sorry to hear this Ron. How heartbreaking. Maybe something special that reminds you of her integrated into your display.
