It's nice seeing another collector using garage/industrial shelving for their displays. I've been using them for years with great enjoyment. A couple things I'd add: 1. I find the shelves look even better when painted compared to the factory finish. Unfortunately this does require a little touch-up work after assembly. 2. Painting the shelves can accomplish the same goal as the upholstery work, and maybe even better for those in humid states like Florida or Louisiana. Most of the shelves these days are either MDF or particle board which love to absorb moisture. A couple coats with oil based paint will seal them up nicely. Your idea for the backing is excellent.

Just an fyi from someone who is just now doing this project, Edsal Muscle Racks come in two types of black: matte and glossy. The matte appears to be what Costa has, but if you get the glossy MAKE SURE TO TAKE OFF AN EXTRA HALF AN INCH FROM THE LENGTH AND WIDTH OF THE HARDBOARD!!! I didn't find that out until I was about ready to put this whole thing together. The shelves for the glossy black muscle rack are slightly smaller, measuring in at about 23.5" x 47.5". The board on the back only needs to be cut to 47.5" but the height of it can be whatever your shelf height is.

I learned a lot from this. I've got two of these shelves for my work room and I've been trying to figure out how to display my X-Wings and Grogu doll. Now I've got a bunch of new ideas. Thank you for sharing. FYI, the orginal shelf boards are not meant for heavy items. They bend and warp. You might have to invest in plywood. Lowes and Home Depot can cut it for you. Call ahead. Some stores can't keep their saw in working order. Talk to a lumber floor associate, the cashier (this was me once) might not know anything about the saw. These shelf units are sold at almost all the hardware stores. Mine are from Lowe's. HD, Walmart, and Amazon carry them. Get a big flat cart or lumber cart when you come in, they wont fit in shopping cart. They are usually in the storage/home organization department of the store. Also they weight over 100 pounds, bring help or wrestle them by yourself. I wrestled both of mine by myself but they are heavy. You might need something to protect your floor cause the legs are metal. You have the option of making one large unit with the five shelves or two half units with two/three shelves. Check around Black Friday to see if they go on sale (mine were). Happy collecting, friends.

II finally ordered the second one of the shelves from Walmart. i ordered one first to play around with it to check the mechanics and functionality of it. after assembly the shelves, it is sturdy and does not move around = that is good!!!! It did come with the couplings but only to be installed as inner couplings, not outer as per your build. I did find the outer couplings online. Once they arrive, I will compare both units, the one with inner and then the new one that arrives I will test it as an outer coupling. I will update on the findings of it after I am done. At first thought, I am thinking that the inner is best since you the bulge from the coupling wont be noticeable when no front glass or when there is a front glass shield(plexi).

Thanks for the video! I’m almost done with mine! Here are couple of things to consider for people: 1: I chose 36x72x18 shelve, and for that you can only fit 1 light/ tier. You’ll need to order 2 of the 9” extensions 2: for lights, since you’re not connecting 2 lights, and as a result, the distance between each light will be more compared to Costa’s shelve. 3: If you’re collecting 1/4 or 1/3 statues like me, I’d recommend reinforcing the shelves by doubling wood panels and then cover it with faux leather.

I also am using the 36x72x18 shelving and my issue with the lighting is that when I put the connectors on either end, the light no longer fits because of the plugs sticking out either side. It fits fine with one connector in one side, but not with both. How did you remedy this?
@Pure_flamenco
@Pure_flamenco Жыл бұрын
@@SomeoneHasThatName As I mentioned you’ll need two of the 9” extensions, and even with 2, sometimes you’ll need to adjust the lights by pushing them either left or right. However, if you want to fit the lights exactly in the center of each level, you can either get the third 9” extension or get longer extensions. I used 2 of 9” and 2 of the 3 light aren’t exactly in the center of each level and that doesn’t effect the lighting of levels at all. So the choice is yours! Hopefully this was helpful

This is great! I live in an area that I don’t have access to an IKEA or anything like it. I had to go with cheap Target shelves. The spacing is not ideal and leaves a lot of unusable area to 1/6th figures. I really don’t have a dust issue so I could forgo the outer acrylic. The only thing that is minimally unsightly on this case is the holes and I bet you could clean that up with some kind of thick black vinyl trim cut to size. I’m not sure what product you could use for that but I’m sure it exist. The black vinyl tape might work but I’m thinking it’s too thin and you would still see the outline of the holes.
@PopCultureLivingRoom
@PopCultureLivingRoom 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much for watching! I think I have an idea for you for the holes. You definitely don't want to use vinyl tape. The adhesive does not stick on well to metal. They make thinner magnetic tape. Get a size wide enough to cover the holes, about 1", and apply it. You will have the magnetic strength and adhesive strength to hold it. I found this online and it should work. I may buy some to test it because you brought up something that I didn't think of, people who won't be using outer acrylic.

I had this shelf in my garage for tools and equipment. Shelf collapsed with less than 100lbs on it. The problem is the pressboard wood shelf. It’ll never hold the weight of statues or any other heavy items no matter what the manufacturer claims. You’ll want to use plywood for shelves. You may even want to consider adding extra bracing to keep the outward structure from bowing and deformation. Deformation that would allow the shelves to collapse.

Great idea and video !! I’ve been looking for a nice display case to replace Detolfs because they’re so fragile and you can’t make a nice multiple figure diorama. I’m going to be making one of these VERY soon. Instead of super glue, if people have a hot glue gun, the glue sticks would probably be cheaper than super glue. Although I don’t think a hot glue gun will work for the expanded PVC back panels in your upgrade video, I’m pretty sure the hot glue would melt the PVC. I definitely going to be recommending this to my friends and followers. Thanks again !!!

As Costa mentioned with the Jigsaw, do use one with many teeths versus the standard blade that comes with it. do note as you cut the notch, that as the plexi cools it will want to stick to itself. my solution in the past with notches is not to stop when you start, I used to do a circular notch. if you want the square notch, after cutting, you can finish it by hand by using the blade manually (wearing gloves of course). I hope this helps out others since you already by now completed your build.

In fact ithe acrylic shelf feels sturdier than the boards that come with the garage shelf and they can hold 200lbs each. Yes I did cut notches out of the corners of the acrylic shelf.

Thank you so much! I'm happy you enjoyed it. It's all about your personal preference. The videos are a template or a guide and you add or remove anything that suits your vision. You can spray paint shelves white or any color you would like. I covered my shelves with fabric because I wanted a premium look and feel. The shelf board is particle board so it has a lot of rough texture to it. It's not the look I was wanting. As for the hardboard, you could do the same. I didn't want to try and match the white to the board and I didn't want to paint the whole board. Adding the vinyl tape was easy. If you check out part 3 in the Display Case video series, you'll see I found a great new way to make the panels using expanded PVC foam sheets. They are easier to work with and do not require a vinyl border. They also look premium and do not cost much more than the Fiberboard.

Awesome display! Thank you for the incredibly simple and easy to follow tutorial, Costa! How much weight can the acrylic take if you use it as a bottom inner shelf? I would love to see you incorporate led panel lighting as a base in one of those shelves! Something similar to the expensive Legendary Displays' SHO-OFF cases, both with diffused top and bottom lights, but at more than half of the cost. I've been researching edge lit lighting on frosted acrylic panels, and I feel like I can make it work. Just worried about the weight of some larger scale statues/dioramas bearing on the acrylic. One could say it's an unnecessary expense, but that's one of the small sacrifices you could make to make the best display for your collection! And it's certainly still gonna be cheaper than any Moducase with dim af lighting lol. But I still wouldn't have been able to build my own dream shelf without your videos. Thanks again!

I was looking into making a display cabinet but I ultimately went with Moducase Sixth Series. I collect anime figures so it’s a perfect size for my mostly 1/7 scale figures and I got two tall units for my 1/4 scale. Acrylic sheets even from a local supplier are extremely expensive near me and I would be too limited on how I can space my shelves. Ultimately I’d rather pay a little more for the build quality and modular design. The eight month wait time does suck but because of it I don’t have to pay in full upfront.

1st, love the whole video series. This is really what I have been need for my lego collection. That being said, I was thinking about using .22-.25 in acrylic instead of .5". Do you think this would still work? Can you check the weight it can hold? My shelf is 36" x 18".

Thank you so much!!! I appreciate the kind words. I love Legos! You might be ok with going with .25in acrylic because of the smaller area of 36x18. I have a 36x24 shelf that is 3/8in thick and it is pretty sturdy and feels strong. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. When you finish your display, I'd love to check it out and possibly show it off on my SHOW OFF!!! live stream. You can send pics to popculturelivingroom@gmail.com Thanks again for watching!

Can I use the muscle racks as a support base risers for detolfs? What size would work and how many detolfs could it fit safely?

In theory you could. I would switch out the particle board with 3/4" thick plywood for more strength. You can fit at least 2.

Probably a silly question but how does the materials needed (not acrylic) scale if doing 72x36x18? Also do you feel the need to anchor these to the wall? Great video and can't wait to get started!

Hi! Sorry for the late response. I've been out of town. It's easy to scale them down to the smaller cases. I've had several people make the smaller size cases. The garage shelves are pretty stable but if you have small kids, you may want to anchor it. Thank you so much for watching! If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to me.

I prefer a dark background....white shows more detail which is awesome if it's a hottoy figure but if you have third-party figures I feel a black background will hide the details of those not so great figures...but still show them with a decent look.

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch the video. Black background is excellent. Especially for something like Batman or Star Wars villains. I also agree with you about third parties. I have a 2nd shelf that has a mix of the white and backgrounds. Two of the sections are white and 1 is black. To get a high quality black background, I used black upholstery grade velvet and black PVC sheets. I used them in this tutorial here which is a different case but still applies. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIjVgWVmrtR6j7c Thanks again!

thank you for this DIY tutorial. It's really great. Isn't it too bright though? Do you think maybe neutral white would work better on a white display case?

Thank you so much for watching Manituan! The lights aren't as bright as they seem in the video. For me, they are the perfect brightness. If needed, you can always get a plug that can dim the lights and turn them on and off. I put a link to one below. A pic from my Instagram page: instagram.com/p/CVMEEsrgb80/?

@@manituan4956 You could definitely use one large sheet of acrylic for the front. I would recommend using 1inch wide magnetic tape to give the magnet more surface area to stick on the shelf frame.

Get black background or black faux leather. With proper lighting, White reflects light and sucks color out of the statue.

Looking to start this build soon! I noticed in the beginning of the video it looked like you had plans to do 4 shelves and then towards the end of the video when adding lights, there were only 3 shelves. Was there a design reason for this decision? Just curious as I am looking to do the individual front acrylic sheets for each shelf.

Awesome! It's going to be a fun journey. When I talked about shelves, I was talking about the ones I covered with the fabric. I covered 4 shelves which includes the top one. The layout I chose gives a lot of option without ever having to move or add more shelves. I made each section big enough so that all the figures can be seen and risers or floating shelves can be added. If you had an 18" deep garage shelf, you could put more shelves in. But with 24" deep shelves, the figures in the back wouldn't get seen if there were more shelves since the shelves would be closer together. It also gives me options if I want to add vehicles. If you have any questions while building, feel free to reach out to me. I'd be happy to help. Thanks so much for watching!

How have your lights held up? I can fit the the lights in but the connection ends are at a pretty extreme bend, barely fits with connections on both ends. Thanks

They are holding up pretty well. I haven't had to adjust them at all. I am working on making my own connectors so they aren't squished on the sides. Stay tuned. Thanks for the support!

Hey, do you think its best to get a 48×18×72 or the 48x24x72 shelf if I'm planning on mostly having 1/4 scale statues? I've got a few 1:10 scale ones as well.
