DIY Display Case Tribute

[@thaliameyer7215]

Wow, that's some awesome displays and collections! Thumbs up for everyone. 👍👏

[@SergeCruso]

I built my display with your guidance and when I look at my hand painted models I can say "I did all of that" thank you!

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

It's definitely a great feeling! Thank you for your support.

[@ws6bat217]

Thank you for including me in this awesome tribute and the hard work you put into all your videos! Great job to everyone, some truly amazing displays created!!

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Thank you so much for sharing! You did a great job!

[@armydan143]

Can't thank you enough for the videos and confidence to build something to display my lego sets! Thanks again for including my cases on your video!

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Thank you for sharing your display! I'm happy I was able to help.

[@Sith-ScaleCollector]

GREAT video! Cool to see so many different uses.

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Thanks for watching! This community is amazing!

[@stephenwilson3170]

I just wanted to thank you for thinking of my display. If wasn’t for you I would not have my cases. Working on my 2.0 Cases

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

I love your setup and the cases look great. I can't wait to see the 2.0's. Thank you for sharing!

[@manuelpescado]

Your single figure setup is exactly what I am looking for, it looks great, where can I see more detail of your build?

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

@@manuelpescado Hi! I think you're talking about the aluminum cases on the wall. For that build, use the video below. With this video, you can make the case any size you want but I am working on a dedicated video for individual figure cases called the Grail Case which have a lot of cool stuff added to it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIjVgWVmrtR6j7c

[@manuelpescado]

@@PopCultureLivingRoom Thanks Costa!, I already watched your suggested video, and I am looking forward to seeing that Grail Case

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

@@manuelpescado Thank you!

[@forever-a-collector]

Awesome video..Shout to all the collectors out there..

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

This community is amazing!

[@impossiblepie]

They all look great.

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

An amazing job by everyone.

[@Huevoestancia]

Man you created a revolution! Nice to see people not to get scammed by inspiring them to create their own display cases. Awesome work everyone and nice collections too! I am also building my own and save a lot of time and money which is very valuable to me! Thank you Pop Culture!

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Thanks so much! I appreciate it! The community has done an amazing job with their displays. It makes me happy to see all the successes. I'd love to check out your display when finished and add it to the next video tribute. If you're interested, you can send pics to [e-mail]. Thanks for watching!

[@loveordie4]

What a awesome video!!

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Thank you! A lot of great collectors out there

[@marcinszlempo8650]

Currently in the process of doing this in Australia! Thanks so much for the tip

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

That's awesome! I'd love to check it out when you're done. Thanks for watching!

[@OneSixth_Syndicate]

Awesome video, thanks for including me Costa!

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Thank you for being a part of it and supporting the channel!

[@GhostlyGaymer]

Keep up the amazing work I love your videos

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Thank you so much!

[@RBrown803]

The Sliding drawer is clutch. Vince needs to let us know how it is attached.

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

That was a great idea by Vince. He shared the details with me and I'll check with him about possibly doing a tutorial.

[@tristanbelisle8623]

Thank you for including me!!!!!

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

No problem. Thank you for your support!

[@aelorzart]

Hello! Really thank you for your complete tutorial, I just came across it, it’s incredible! Seeing so many people have followed it motivates me even more to make my own and will finally allow me to really showcase my little collection! I only have one resin (sometimes it's difficult to put money aside when you're an artist...) and yet since I've had it (more than 10 years haha) I've had a lot of trouble find a way to highlight it... So thank you, you will really change my life!

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Thank you so much! This made my day. What resin do you have? If you have any questions when you build your display, please feel free to reach out to me. I'd be happy to help.

[@aelorzart]

@PopCultureLivingRoom Thank you so much man! I have an Half-Life 2 Headcrad Zombie in 1:4 from Gaming Heads! I have it since 2012, that's my little treasure and it's not a resin but soon I'll get the replica 1:1 of the Gravity Gun from NECA! They definitively needs a nice place like your display case ah ha

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

@@aelorzart That's awesome!

[@aelorzart]

@@PopCultureLivingRoom thank you ✨

[@kddan]

Dude, I found your channel/DIY videos a couple of weeks ago and DAMN! Life saver! I had a vision of what I wanted but never saw anybody do it, and/or I didn't think I could pull it off. Not gonna lie, it was stressful and cost a bit more than I expected but your videos were a great guide to start! Thanks a lot!

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Thank you so much! I'm happy I was able to help. It definitely can get stressful but it's always worth it in the end. I'd love to check out your display case and add it to the next tribute video. You can send photos to [e-mail].

[@KeCoCollects]

Can confirm, I literally almost sliced my finger off on my first one. Glad I persevered lol

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

And It was totally worth it! Thanks KeCo.

[@kraftyiam]

Howdy and good morning dude, met you yesterday over at Oiler's Live ... giving you a thumbs up and you haven't started building yet cause I love it ... oh boy would I love to check out your collection too. Thanks for the look at others' displays - wow - especially like Lou's bat cave background. All are fantastico! ... k, on with the video 🙂

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Hi!!! Welcome and thank you from stopping by! I'm happy you enjoyed the video.

[@the1stJabneel]

I am totally jealous of the displays. I'm one of those "I can't build anything folks" you mentioned at the begining of your video, but I definitely appreciate those display cases and those collection pieces. Great video!!!

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Thank you! If you ever decide to take a stab at building a display, I will be there with any help or questions you have. I love helping.

[@the1stJabneel]

I'm a Transformers collector primarily so I've been collecting a lot of the G1 inspired threezero figures, but looking at those Hot Toys from your other video regarding their 2024 pre-orders has made me want to start on my Batman collection. Who knows, maybe I will attempt it out of necessity. :) @@PopCultureLivingRoom

[@Collection_Obsession]

Costa, how dust proof are these cases? Thank you.

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

I would say 95 to 99%.

[@KarenTese]

I want to make these to display my Harry Potter Lego sets, but I want to be able to view the insides of the buildings. I'm wondering if I can put wheels on this kind of rack? Or do you think those metal kitchen carts that are on wheels could work the same?

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

I wouldn't put wheels on a garage shelf. They are boltless and require stable ground. How many Harry Potter Lego sets do you have and want to display? A turntable might be a good option. Thanks for watching!

[@ExstasinBloopers]

What thickness acrylic are y’all going with?

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

I went with 1/16" for the sides and 3/32" for the front for a bit more rigidity. Thanks for watching!

[@ExstasinBloopers]

@@PopCultureLivingRoom did you go with full gloss for the shiny look? And how much approx did the acrylic panels weigh? I’m thinking of doing a full panels on each side rather than each shelf section getting their own panel but I’m afraid it’ll be too heavy for the magnets

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

@ExstasinBloopers the acrylic I used is regular acrylic. The glossiness is natural. A sheet of acrylic that is 48"x72"x3/32" weighs approx 12lbs. If You don't feel comfortable with the magnetic tape, you can always use Velcro. There are pros and cons to both magnetic tape and Velcro tape. My prefer the magnetic tape cuz it's easier to take off and put back on. Hope this helps.

[@OpenBuilds]

Awesome project!

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Thank you! Thanks for watching.

[@shanksor1911]

think you can come up with something for posters, cloth maps and such?

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

I do some ideas. Is there anything in particular you want in a display for your posters and maps?

[@shanksor1911]

@PopCultureLivingRoom something that can display both sides, since the print is front and back. And perhaps a way to integrate it into the case build.

[@AdenOlmstead]

Hey man, interested in where you got the bottom acrylic shelf on your display?!

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Hi! I got mine from Amazon in 2021 but I would recommend going to a place that sells acrylic or plastics because it will be cheaper than getting it from Amazon. Thanks so much for watching! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. I'd be happy to help.

[@AdenOlmstead]

@@PopCultureLivingRoomfor the bottom shelf is it a different thickness than the side panels or just the same? And did you get it precut or would you recommend just cutting it yourself?

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

@@AdenOlmstead The acrylic shelf is 1/2" thick. Much thicker than the side panels. I ordered it from amazon but if you have a place near you that specializes in acrylic, you may get a better price. Here is the one on Amazon: amzn.to/4daSDjd

[@scorpio6587]

Nice Tenacious D reference.

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Happy you got the reference. Thanks for watching!

[@CoreySosner]

Still a work in progress

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Take your time. There's no rush. When it's finished it'll look magnificent. Did you go with the mirrored acrylic? I forget what you told me.

[@CoreySosner]

@@PopCultureLivingRoom Hey Costa, I’m still waiting on the base so they’re done but I can’t start putting my stuff in there because it’s got to be all moved again and this seems like it’s going to be a never ending tinkering project. Now I just pre-ordered the 1/3 scale Howling werewolf from PCS. So talk about rearranging the cabinets without starting. I didn’t get the mirror finish or the clear shelves yet. The black velvet really gets scuffed up and holds lint like mad but have not yet decided what to do till it’s on the base and loaded up. Hope alls well heard about your dog my condolences ( it’s horrible I’ve been there.) didn’t forget to send you photos you have some really cool dudes who have made some beauty’s I just watched the video great stuff. Take care and I’ll be I touch

[@PopCultureLivingRoom]

Thanks for all the support Corey! I'll be here ready when you're finished your shelves. I'm sure they're going to look spectacular. The black velvet can be an issue. One of the things I like to use is a lint brush, the ones with the stickers, and use that to clean the velvet. At some point I'll do a video on upkeep. The new statue sounds awesome. I'll have to check it out on PCS's site. Keep in touch. And thanks again!
