Hello all! I'm officially diving into the display portion of collecting, and I was looking to build a custom display cabinet. Wooden frame, with glass/plexiglass walls, shelves, and doors, and lights running down the front corners, lighting back into the shelves (so you aren't blinded by the lights).
My second idea was to have two or three smaller, waist high cabinets with a section on top at about a 45 degree angle to display stuff (I want to display the Shards of Narsil with my other LOTR stuff and the Master Sword with other Legend of Zelda stuff). I remember seeing someone do that with their own Narsil but I can't seem to find it.
So my questions are:
-What do some of your displays look like?
-Has anyone done the lights like I plan to?
-Glass or plexiglass?
-One large display or several smaller displays?
-Do you have locks on your display doors?
Post pictures of your own displays if you can. I'd love to get some fresh ideas in my head! Thanks!
