My husband is a larger KZbinr and he showed me your channel, we are both blown away at the level of work and quality you put into your videos, He did the same and for the longest time it was a grind. Just want to let you know, when you are consistent like this and have a loyal base, it’s guaranteed that you will start growing quicker and quicker as time goes, and then all of a sudden it will just take off. You put more effort into your videos then most do in the millions of subscribers. We are both rooting you on and one you will succeed beyond what you even expect. Never stop, you are providing so many a service and it is appreciated. I say this because in the beginning, anyone you tell what you do will not understand what you are doing and that can affect how you see how you are doing. Think about it this way, right now at almost 30k people(we don’t call our base subscribers) you are filling a stadium! And that’s just plain amazing! Thank you for awesome video after awesome video. The Nerdy awards was smart and incredibly entertaining.

Very true with some stores. I scored a Jewelry store display cabinet worth a grand or so for free on Gumtree. They were not going out of business, but bringing in new display cabinets etc. They wanted me to take this other huge cabinet off their hands also for free but it was ridiculously big and heavy. The one I took was the one I really wanted anyway. I have a Hoth diorama thing going on in it. Cheers from Sydney....will be Subscribing now👍

Shelf ideas aren't a problem, it's arranging my figures(aka: using my shelf space efficiently) that I'm struggling with. The only ideas I've been able to come up with(based on my current shelf space) is the following: 1. 2 large figures and maybe 3 small figures(if I'm lucky) 2. 4 medium and 8-12 small. Plus, I've had to look up and measure how tall certain figures are, before displaying them.

I had the same issue because of so many action figures and their boxes. One thing I did was took a shelf and found a long skinny square box that matches about half the width of the shelf and made it into a 2 tier. so now I have my action figures sitting on top of the skinny box at an angle, and then my other action figures actually sitting on the shelf at an angle and if you angle them just right, you can hide the box behind
@nine_tails137 Жыл бұрын
@@ChristianSmith-rt1ul Interesting idea, thanks for the tip. My figure collection mostly consists of: Power Rangers, Transformers, Digimon, Demon Slayer, DBZ, Nendoroids, S.H. Monster Arts, and prize figures in general. So not one specific theme. Also, one of my shelves is custom made with adjustable levels. So, I can get the following dimensions: Large: H=2 1/2 ft, L=23 in, D=11 in. Medium: H=15 in, L=23 in, D=11 in. Small: H=8 in, L=23 in, D=11 in. So yeah, Height varies, while length and depth stay the same. My largest figure is my Omnimon G.E.M. statue standing at 2 feet tall. While my smallest figures are my Vocaloid Desktop Singers and Princess Connect Desktop Army(3 of each).

I actually just go to menards (it's a big hardware store, for those who don't have them) and go to the scrap lumber section in the back and on a good day I can grab a few 4-5' x 3" planks of lumber for like $1.50 or less each, then pick up a couple of $1 L-brackets and I can get around 15 star wars black series or about 10 mcfarlane figures on each shelf. I have most of my empty wall space covered with these cheap DIY shelves for around $15-20, they don't look professional at all (though you could paint them or whatever if you wanted) but you get a lot of storage for your buck.

So glad I came across this. My 12 year old daughter collects Marvel, Jurassic World, Ninja Turtles, Transformers and space related stuff. Our naughty cats recently knocked over a shelf with all her lego sets, Indominus Rex and a Indoraptor glass light. Light shattered, Indominus lost his tail and I spent 4 days putting lego sets BACK together after hunting down the PDF manuals. Thankfully she was gone for a couple weeks and doesnt know. Our landlords wouldnt let us bolt the shelves but we finally got permission after I sent her a photo of the wreckage that was my daughters beloved collection. Do you have any suggestions for hanging flying dinosaurs from the ceiling without ugly string. I used white embroidery thread and it drove her mad that she could see the string so clearly. You mentioned hanging your ship but I am not sure how I would go about it without making it look silly with all the string or worse, risking it coming crashing to the ground.

A couple of other options for hanging carded figures is Command brand hooks or picture hangers. You can get a variety of styles that work really well. I personally like the metal strips with a metal peg at the top. One other option is a company called Wall Control. They build metal pegboards with metal shelving of different sizes. There are also metal pegs. They look really nice but they work best if you have studs that are 16 inches apart.
