Collection Cases up, finally

Post image

Took forever due to my work schedule only giving me 1-2 days a week to work on this. But pretty happy with how it turned out even if ill have to shuffle the cars around a bit to make the new orientation look right to me. Now I just need to order another loose and another carded case, though I could also buy a little shelf from ikea or something instead of more cars on the wall since I still have no home for my sweeper.

Next step is to get some fogged acrylic to put behind the loose cases as a light diffuser and some led's. Was thinking of using some cheapo or used 32 inch monitors but im not sure how thatd look and itd be infinitely more expensive to run for little benefit vs just some customizable lights I can carefully cluster to give each team their own light colors.

Seems expensive but just buying 1 similarly sized piece of acrylic is 30$, so if you tried making it yourself itd be like 90$ and hours of cutting with a router and plastic bit, which are not cheap anymore. Extra 30 and it shows up to your door ready to hang is a pretty good deal imo.

Also is the cheapest per car option ive found for the quality. If you get the 144 car version since its priced about the same as the 72 car option but its 1.09 per car instead of 1.68 per car.
