How to Make an AWESOME display case for MINIATURES

Ive now got a lot of 3D printed and painted miniatures and wanted the perfect way to store and display them. So made this awesome looking display case for all my Dungeons & Dragons (DnD) (D&D) miniatures.

This has got to be one of the best ideas I have ever seen. I know what im doing the next time i have some spare sheets of mdf. Stunning and practical. Really good job 👍

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

thank you so much, Im thinking of attaching it to the wall =)

[@ryanthompson6571]

@@MiniatureHobbyist I think your gonna need a much bigger wall by this time next year. Honestly I started watching your videos from the very beginning and the level of everything you do is upped by 100%. Though I am more Age of sigmar, I always watch your videos and maybe, just maybe steal a few ideas here and there 😀 keep doing what you do best, building and painting what suits you.

What can I say....I LOVE 3D printing and painting miniatures, this is just the first of many custom made display cases. What should my next case look like?

The technique somewhere between drybrushing and normal painting is called *overbrushing*

[@rodolfomaravillasduran8793]

Man this is quite something. The minis look great and giving them that background kinda is a game changer.

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Cheers, yeah I want to be able to see the minis in a background that works for them =)

Share the 3d roller thingiverse links, brother! And thank you again for another fantastic video.

Right!? :)

A most Excellent way to display the very cool figures

[@MarkLewis...]

Thursday... Our groups DnD day... Perfect.

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

well it was until I just got a message saying the DM is stuck at work so had to cancel it, of well I will be watching some critical role later then lol =)

[@MarkLewis...]

@@MiniatureHobbyist sucks when DnD is cancelled! "My heart joined the thousands as a friend stopped running today."

[@tabletophobby3151]

Excellent work buddy - looking forward to the judge getting a themed storage solution from an apocalyptic future

[@toddler_dragons]

I make Diorama-like bookshelves inserts for my minis. And I use the 1/4 inch xps foam for the back, sides and ground so I lose the minimum amount of space for minis :) But yours looks quite neat too!

[@MarkLewis...]

BTW... That "A-Z" home delivery service on-line has tons of great LED strip light options! The colours are rainbow, with remote, and dim to super nova brightness. Various lengths and choices! They work great!

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Cheers I will take a look at them =)

[@ShDTMP]

Great Display case! it's called over-brushing or Heavy Dry Brush. I'm glad you're enjoying Miniature painting!

[@jdschauss]

Even though I am a Battletech guy, I have to give it up. Mate, your case is absolutely BRILLIANT! Cheers from the USA! ...and we call it grout, too. ;-)

[@TheGUNdalf]

Looks amazing

[@barrykent9877]

At last proper, nice and clear stands!

[@codeofthewolf224]

Adding my 2 cents for the algorithm. If you cut some ply into ramparts shapes you could put some minis on top as castle guards.

[@viesturssilins858]

You bring joy.

[@smellyflounder7544]

reaaly cool build. Could see this working for other settings too, like a Bunker, spaceship etc. great job as always

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Cheers, yeah Im doing an ancient aztec temple diorama and might do another case similar to that =)

[@smellyflounder7544]

@@MiniatureHobbyist looking forward to it :)

This is a great idea for all those completed minis hidden away in storage. And, you made this look so easy and simple, yet it really came out as something to be proud to display.

Wonderful. that's a good idea to put lots of prints in dungeon. love this case.

Between dry brushing and wet brushing is called "over brushing"

[@kaig.-s.1040]

What an amazing thing you did there! Not only practical and a seems relatively easy to build and to personalise. The display itself, it is so beautiful.

Well done. 👍 I dig it.

[@dannydaniel138]

This is very cool. Nice work.

[@snellface]

Nice shelft! I'd look into making my own LED lights if I were you. All you need is a soldering iron, thing wires, some LEDs, resistors and a power supply (like a 5-12V wall wart), and maybe an hour or so of reading how to use LEDs with resistors if you have not done electronics before. With that said, I wanted to ask where the medium sized skeleton models come from, they look nice.

[@KnightsOfDice]

what a fun project, it looks excellent!

Fantastic video. Just so you know it depends on where in the United States you are but but we use both grout and spackle. Where I am in Texas grout is used used to affix tiles to a surface and sparkle is used to to patch small holes in walls.

[@drakedragonking4698]

I have to admit this switch in content is very much enjoyed keep up the good work

[@soramirai2675]

would have loved if you had linked the creators for each roller in the description as well

[@martindunn4545]

Add some water into your PVA/paint base coats ! It'll make it flow a lot better into the nooks and crannies. I've had to play around with ratios a bit but it saves so much time. Loving the new type of content !

It looks absolutely Fantastic Friend! I love the led idea, and personally i think softer lights give it a 'moody' edge, that fits in with the candles in your backdrop. Of course, it's all down to personal preference eh. 😂👍

I've got a couple of display frames with a glass front called "Kasseby" by that Swedish furniture store... now I'm thinking about decorating them like you did.

[@Rodrigo-fj7zj]

This looks amazing. I would love to see more but could you put a prtective barrier to keep the dust out? Is there an alternative to glass ?

[@heatheberley1401]

I always thought would be harder to make then this great ideas.

[@chandlermorris1]

I think the lighting is good. More like candle light which matches the environment. If you go brighter than it will be too overpowering. Looks good

[@joaoleong522]

this is very good welldone

[@DARKHUNTER130]

I'd recommend that you have a look at LED strip lights. It'll kick off more light, you can change the colors with a remote and are pretty easy to set up. If you ever need to do a sci fi diorama el wire is useful (imagine a wire of light that you can bend into any shape you want) Lastly tea lights are good for a flickering candle effect

[@oldturtleguy]

Loved it. It would have been interesting if you had the lights in the torches.

[@dylanhunter5414]

So originally i followed you purely for the warhammer sprue videos and i will say when you announced that you were stopping the warhamemr videos i was skeptical if i'd stay subbed but so far you've kept making great videos. Keep up the great work :)

[@emanuelpruker763]

you can eliminate that white staining from your resin 3d prints by washing the models more and having them fully dried before cure. :)

[@jamiepetereit7828]

the dry brushing technique where the paint is still a little wet is called over brushing i think awesome video btw i have the same problem with space, could see myself doing this.

[@AVspectre]

Really love this idea for displaying. :) I think the only thing I might try to add would be a clear front to limit dust etc. and protect mine from my curious cat. :) Can you tell us more about the files for your texture rollers? If you are worried the link would be blocked, perhaps shout out the creator or file names? Thanks!

[@Gyro_Pretzeli]

Splendid. How did you paint the minis? Any recent vids about the usual routine?

[@jeremygriffin620]

I don't know if you've dipped your toe into airbrushing (recent subscriber), but when I saw you mix the pva and the brown to surface prime I died a bit inside. Then you started talking about how long it was going to take, and I said aloud, "I know." Vallejo black surface primer is an excellent and far quicker alt to that combo, and out of the airbrush takes a couple of minutes to hit your whole shelf. Even better the Vallejo has a, lets call it a rubbery quality, to it to protects very well. I've peeled it off my gloves afterwards and seen it be resilient, springy and protective, much like the modpodge mix you made. Highly recommend, and airbrushes are not that spendy.

[@EQ2Cordanim]

Amazing how you make it so easy! This would take me weeks!! :)

[@NerdBrainDk]

this is an awesome display. So... Now I just need 249 more of them ;)
