** FAQ **
Hi everyone!
It’s been a year since I made this video and I’ve been fortunate enough to receive such overwhelmingly positive feedback along with many follow up questions on the build process. I figured it best to address some of these frequently asked questions so you don’t have to go looking for the answer in the comments below ☺️
* What thickness are the acrylic panels? *
1/8th inch for each panel all around. It’s worth mentioning that I’ve built 2 additional cabinets and used 1/8th inch panels for the front to maintain rigidity but used 1/16th inch panels for the sides since they were a bit cheaper. Heads up they are flimsy / less rigid but they get the job done since I never remove the side panels.
* How did you fit the light bars into the cabinet? *
I fully inserted the connectors as much as possible into each end of the light bar then folded / bent the wire-connector 90 degrees to fit into the cabinet. It’s a tight squeeze but you can briefly see it around the 5:55 mark. Alternatively if you can buy the 3-foot light bars instead for better clearance without the need to forcefully bend any connectors.
* Did you wrap both sides of the shelves in black cloth or just the top side? *
I wrapped both sides of each shelf in black cloth for the sake of uniformity. It requires more material but was worth the final outcome in my opinion.
* How is the magnetic tape holding up? *
Some parts of the adhesive magnetic tape did indeed wear off after uploading this video possibly due to weather / climate or just cheap materials. An easy solution was buying this pack of small circular neodymium magnets. I just super-glued a few of them around the corners & edges of acrylic borders for a much stronger magnetic hold to the metal frame.
Non-affiliate link: a.co/d/3TnxNvw
* How did you join the cabinets together? *
Just inserted black zip ties through the holes of the vertical metal frames where the 2 cabinets meet in the center.
That’s all for now but I’ll add more to this list if it comes to mind 😅 As always thanks so much all your kindness and support. Best of luck on your custom builds, and until next time, stay safe and take care! ❤️

When are u gonna make a new video if u don't mind me saying I have a video idea.could u do if u want to.but can u make a video with like the cat miles morales suit or cat bodega idk how spell it lol😂 if not could u do some more pose showcases with miles morales?

[@Sir-Raph]

@PosingwithPeter - Question about wrapping both sides of the shelves... Could you elaborate a bit on how / where exactly you folded + tacked on the fabric for the other sides? (To keep the cloth as clean & taut as possible on both surfaces.) I would guess the surface you cover last becomes the top-side so the visible fold+tacks are hidden under by the frame.

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Peter. This is a great video! I'm happy I could help you out. You're posing skills are on another level. Congrats on building a display case worthy of your talents!

[@PosingwithPeter]

The man, the myth, the legend himself! 🤩 Seriously thanks again Costa, building this has been dream of mine for quite a long time and it simply would not have come to fruition were it not for your super helpful videos & friendly/inviting attitude. The collecting community is undoubtedly a better place thanks to you, and I for one am forever grateful for all that you do for us 😊🙏

Great job Peter! Looks so finished and professional. Poses are amazing as usual. Costa has also inspired me and therefore I have purchased my shelf and am slowly putting mine together too. Can't wait until it's done. Costa, yourself and others alike are great. I watch you guys all the time. Thank you all!!

[@PosingwithPeter]

Thanks so much! Really glad to hear you’re currently in the midst of building your own custom cabinet 🤩🙌 Indeed it required a bit of time & dedication but the final result is so worth the effort. Thanks again for your support! 🥰🙏

[@jxrevilla]

Thank you for the video, me and my dad have been collecting for some time and this DIY is what we’ve been looking for.

[@atshinkansen7439]

This design is exactly what I’m looking for! I’ve been looking at display solutions for my collection of Gundam and Star Wars models, but I also need one continuous shelf for my model railroad (something that standard bookshelves cannot accommodate). Your design allows for this, and because it’s modular, it can easily be expanded to wrap around a room.

[@wilfredodiaz8743]

Thank you so much for sharing your video with us here on KZbin. I think we can all agree that this is the best cost effective way display our collection if we are on a budget. Once just want to thank you for inspiring those of us whom aren't very handy with tools, im a bit more willing to give this a try

[@PosingwithPeter]

Aw you’re too kind 😊 It’s my pleasure sharing these kinds of tips with fellow collectors especially if it’ll help with our budgets 😅 Indeed I myself am not very handy with tools so I’m really glad this gave you a little spark of inspiration as well. Thanks so much for watching & sharing your positive feedback 😊🙏

This is such a great video! I use the same type of shelving units but qill have to consider the backing and led in the future! The size customizability of the shelves is a huge plus. Thanks for posting!

[@PosingwithPeter]

Nice! Indeed adding the backing & LED lighting definitely elevates it to a more premium aesthetic so I highly recommend adding it to your shelving units as well 😁 And of course, it’s my pleasure to share these tips! Conversely, thanks so much for watching & commenting 🥰🙏

[@dragon_storm_4830]

This randomly popped up in my feed and it's perfect. It's exactly what I need for displaying my transformers and model kits. My thanks to both PopCultureLivingRoom for the original idea, and you for the alternative style.

[@dragon_storm_4830]

I do have to ask though, do you have to individually plug in each set of light bars into a power board? Cause I wanna minimise the amount of plugs for a display cabinet.

[@PosingwithPeter]

I’m really glad this video popped up in your feed! As for the lights bars, they connect to each other via daisy-chain and the necessary wires are all included, so this massive cabinet only took up 2 wall plugs. Hope that helps, and thanks so much for your positive feedback! 😁

This is the absolute greatest video I've seen yet on how to do this. I can't wait to try it! I have a ton of nendoroids and 1/6 scale figures from my favorite video games to display and this seems so doable with my finances help to cut things! He has so so many Lego sets as well and has always taken them apart after building because we don't have anywhere to put them. I'm thinking it would be a great thing to make after we also move!

[@PosingwithPeter]

@dukeroy6724 Hey there ☺️ Great observation with the video clips, and thanks for providing the time stamps as reference. As it happens, I did mention in the video that I wrapped the brown particleboard shelves using the black fabric bed sheets, but you are correct that I didn’t exactly show this. As you pointed out at 4:28, I only stapled the fabric to one side of the shelf when I recorded this part. But off-camera, I wrapped both sides of each shelf using the black fabric and then stapled again which is what you end up seeing at 5:58. I hope that helps, and thanks so much for watching!

Indeed Billy bookcases are less expensive, but unfortunately they don’t provide nearly as much shelf space compared to storage these racks. $89 Billy bookcase: 31.5” wide x 11” deep $99 Shelf Rack: 48” wide x 18” deep Pretty significant increase in surface area for $11. At the end of the day it all comes down to personal preference. Billy bookcases are definitely a budget-friendly solution, no doubt. This video was simply meant to compare & contrast the popular Moducase design & prices.

You have done a great job.

That Qui-Gonn getting the blade is FAN-TASTIC! Great video

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

My pleasure! Thanks for watching! 😁🙏

I used to have a job building stages for plays, this might give me a chance to dust off those old skills. Gives me something to do. Thanks for the advice 😊

[@PosingwithPeter]

Oh damn that’s awesome, sounds like it was quite the handy work - a project like this would be a walk in the park for ya then 😁 As always it’s my pleasure, thanks for watching!

[@gweilojohn8550]

Awesome work Peter and it looks amazing ! Nice to see you use a power tool they'll be no stopping you now 😁 enjoy your new home you crazy kids, stay safe and have fun 😎

[@PosingwithPeter]

Ayy John great to see ya in the comments! Thanks man, indeed the jig-saw cutter scared the crap outta me at first especially since I've never cut any wood before, so it was definitely a confidence booster even if it was just the tiny corners 😂 Likewise my friend stay safe and have a great weekend!

[@gweilojohn8550]

@@PosingwithPeter looking forward to your future uploads ! We always have great weekends 😁 hope yours went well 😎

[@bobdylan5705]

Your timing is impeccable, I was literally discussing Moduspace wait times with Doc Smizzle when your video popped up 😆

[@PosingwithPeter]

Haha yeah especially with the recent price-increase of detolfs, it feels like a lot of collectors are transitioning to other options 🤑

Beautiful Posing!!!!👍

[@PosingwithPeter]

Thanks so much! 😁🙏

[@emerje0]

What a great idea! I've been playing around with several ideas on how to build closed display shelves, but this might be my favorite! Sam's Club has several comparable options including a one similar to yours in the 24" depth with black laminate shelves and hidden connectors for $95. There's also a silver one that's taller (7'), has 6 metal shelves at 18" deep for $75, though people complain about this one being too flimsy.

[@PosingwithPeter]

Nice! If you can get one for $95 in black with adjustable shelves then I’d say go for it if the 24” depth fits your collection! 🤩🙌

[@FunkyCold_Santa]

Thank you for the helpful video.

[@PosingwithPeter]

My pleasure, anything to help fellow collectors if I can 😁 Thanks for watching!

[@figureposingchannel]

Nice. 👍 I had seen the original video already, but it was cool seeing your take on it. And it's always nice to hear your enthusiastic voice again 🤗👍

[@PosingwithPeter]

Aw thanks man! 🥰 Haha how coincidental -- I was literally just watching your epic posing video for Pennywise and had just left a comment over there at the same time you were writing this 😂 I gotta get you, John, and Lael on a posing livestream in the near future. I'll reach out to ya guys when I'm ready to launch that show in the coming weeks!

[@figureposingchannel]

@@PosingwithPeter haha, wow! That s quite the coincidence indeed! Yeh, I m totally for it, just hit me up when u have a timeslot for Pose Academy 😁👍🤗

[@Kappanoname]

awesome vid and build man, i also really appreciate the transparency with how much it cost you, I often get really annoyed when there's any sort of person showcasing a project then having this weird ass obsession with hiding information.

[@PosingwithPeter]

Aw thanks so much for watching and for sharing your positive feedback! Yeah transparency was key since my goal here was to inform & inspire, and I also can’t stand it when various content creators act like gatekeepers on whatever it is that they’re trying to demonstrate 😂

[@SakegeistCollects]

Very interesting DIY project you have done there. All collector faces the same problem, the dreaded free display space, and this is quite a interesting and affordable solution. Might personaly change a few things but it gives me ideas how to tackle my own future DIY project!

[@PosingwithPeter]

Yep yep, shelf space is definitely one of the biggest challenges for fellow collectors but I’m happy to hear that you may borrow from this video with some personal tweaks here and there - that’s the beauty of customization 😁 Best of luck if you go this route, and thanks for watching!

[@toomanylies7716]

[@PosingwithPeter]

Thanks Isaac! Always looking for ways to improve 😊

[@BXDRAGONX1]

Thanks for this video. Definitely helpful. I was thinking Moducase but the waiting is to long. Plexiglass is getting expensive as well but this is the best way to get a display case faster.

[@PosingwithPeter]

Awesome! It’s my pleasure to help spread the knowledge & tips with everyone so I’m really glad you found this video helpful ☺️ Thanks for watching & for sharing your positive feedback!

[@christianlopez286]

Those poses make the display look so good

[@PosingwithPeter]

Thanks Christian! I'm lucky enough to own just the right amount of figures for them to be spaced out a bit. I'm sure they'll be posed more neutral as the shelves become more crowded overtime 😂

[@nguyenquanghonghoa1643]

Welcome back. Hoping to see more posing vid

[@PosingwithPeter]

Aw thanks for the warm welcome back 🥰 Now that I've got a dedicated workspace I'll be gearing up to kick off posing livestreams in the coming weeks/months so stay tuned, and thanks for watching!

[@froggy474]

AWESOME VIDEO, Peter! I too came across Costa's ingenious videos first, and they really inspired me to make my own DIY Display Case for my dinosaur figures collection. I love how he goes in depth with his step by step process on the whole build, as well as sharing exactly what he used and where he bought everything from. I then found your video where you've taken Costa's ideas and added to them with a few great ideas of your own! And I appreciate that you've shared what you'd bought and from where as well. It helps tremendously in gathering all the supplies I'll need to build my own. :) I also like how you used one long sheet of acrylic on the front, so that you can change the shelf heights in the future if you want to. I think that was brilliant! And I really loved your idea of using the microfiber bed sheets to cover the backs and shelves. Your idea sparked my imagination and led me to discover a way to help bring my display to life. Since I'm going for realism in my build, I'm planning to use a cloth rainforest photography backdrop to attach to the background of my shelf unit, and a grass photography backdrop cloth for the shelves themselves that the dinosaurs will stand on. I think it's going to look so cool! :oD I only have one question for you: at 6:25 you state that you applied two layers of magnetic tape around the edges for each panel. Since you didn't add the weather strips like Costa did, I was wondering what your reasoning was for using 2 layers of the magnetic tape instead of just one layer? Thank you so much for making this video and sharing it, Peter! It really adds to the awesome tips that Costa shared, and helps make the build even better! And your collection is AMAZING! I LOVE how very REAL all of your figures look! Just fantastic all the way around!!!! :) ~ Danalynn

[@PosingwithPeter]

Hi Danalynn! Wow thanks SO much for your incredibly positive feedback! I’m so glad you enjoyed both my and Costa’s cabinet tutorials, and I LOVE how you’ll be using rainforest backdrop & grass as flooring for your dinosaur diorama display! That’s gonna be so EPIC! To answer your question, I double-layered the magnetic tape since there would still be a small gap for dust to seep through if I had only used a single layer of magnetic tape… additionally a single layer wasn’t strong enough to hold the large acrylic panel to the metal rack, so using double layer magnetic tape not only added some thickness as dust-prevention but also allowed the magnetic tape to make contact with the metal frame. It’s worth mentioning that I’m currently building 2 more cabinets just like this in my living room right now but instead of using double layer magnetic tape, I’m trying out small circular neodymium magnets. They’re much stronger and cheaper too, so I may end up reverting back to using normal pile/foam weather stripping to dust proof. We shall see 😁 I hope that helps clarify, and thanks again so much for your kind words and support 😊 Best of luck on your custom cabinet build! If you end up making a video/collection tour after everything is all setup then please be sure to drop me the link! 🤩🙏

[@brandonnichols8961]

​@@PosingwithPeter did you end up going full circular magnets?

[@bigdogpound1253]

wow, Peter, you have a great display. It looks very classy and expensive at the fraction of the cost. and your posing skills are A-1 sauce.

Great idea bro

[@PosingwithPeter]

Thanks for watching!

[@puertoricansithlord4129]

Wow....awesome video. You gave me the confidence of taking on this project. Looks very sleek like a Moducase, which is what I'm trying to achieve, but with current projects for the house and so many awesome new figure announcements, spending a small fortune for Moducases is not an option for me at the moment, so this looks like the next best thing

[@PosingwithPeter]

Dang that’s awesome! I’m really glad my video helped provide ya with the tips and confidence-boost to go this route! Indeed the savings on this custom build can help us afford at least 2 or 3 other figures 🤑😂 But thanks so much for watching and sharing your positive feedback! 😊🙏
