Lol, I wasn’t thinking about that. But seriously, I was never into roof racks but now with kids and not wanting to drive SUVs, roof racks have been amazing for traveling storage. With a box on top of my R32, my little hatch can hold more than a SUV. Last time I rented an SUV, I ended up returning it after finding I could fit a lot more in my own car with the rack. Definitely a great investment that will be cheaper than most other option plus you will have it for life. I guess the main thing is if you plan on switching cars soon, the cost of the rack would be lost unless you sell it separately. Or, get a more universal bike rack that attaches to the back of cars.

Nice! Really cool to have those resources at your fingertips. Is that for a new fuel rail design?
-
Lighting would be easy, line the inside with led strips. As for height, why does the 14” extend above the base to the yellow line? Either way, around 12” would be ok but if you could just make it a bit taller, that would be great. If not enough to use as display space, maybe it would be a good storage space for all the parts that can be used for the items on display in the case?

OK, I saw your response in the other thread and looking at this now, I have some ideas. It's just a frame and you say the panels could be anything. I would be in to just buy the frame and I would use something else for the panels. Probably even something super cheap and easy like foam board for three sides and then get on acrylic panel for the front. That should dramatically lower price and even shipping if I could assemble the frame from the parts.

Get a bike rack?

I’ve moved all around the world and my collection since childhood mostly came with me or stayed in storage (at relatives homes). Just store in boxes and move with a trailer or rented truck or hire movers. If you are leaving other stuff behind, is it all going to trash or do you mean they will stay at a place you have access to? If you will have access to all the stuff you are leaving behind, you might consider leaving the toys and next time you go back, take a flight and then rent a uhaul to bring what you need. I’ve mostly lived in warm climates and yellowing has not been a problem on anything but toys I’ve left in front of sunny windows for extended periods.

Excellent! I’ve been wanting something like this but it would be even better if one side was open for an additional display space. It would probably increase cost by a lot but an opening clear door would be amazing.

Oh man! Nice! -
Had some quick fun.

@505thAirborne @F360 Thanks! 1/60 hands will do. I bet they fit the VF-0 too. Either way, nice!
-
So I checked and Yamato uses thin pegs for the hands and Bandai uses a thick ball joint. No go unless someone wants to file their ball peg down to fit. I ain’t doing it, lol! I’m surprised no one has printed hands or have they? edit: now that I think about it, maybe 1/60 hands would work? Anything is better than the tiny skeleton hands on the 1/48 and VF-0s

Ooooo, with some blue highlights. @sh9000!

I don’t think I’ve seen pics of the other stuff but I want to beat you over the head and take your Mazinger collection. Actually, just that DX since I have most the others. -

NP! Did you end up getting any other MB or MC from those lists? @RED WOLF killing it! -

That Zaku looks great in the custom FEXT! It's one of the best one of my favorite figures to come out so far this year. -
If you get a good quality tint, those will block out 99.99% of the harmful UV rays. Done. These days, you want the ceramic stuff.
-
I love those translucent pieces. The way they defract light is perfect. Makes the pics look like high end drawn art.
-
That was quick! Very nice!
-
Correct. Yeah, around $5 for tracking but I wouldn’t pay it. I don’t need to “see” where my package is until I see it at my house.

You can combine any unpaid order at NY yourself from the order page. They have a tutorial on how to do it right there but it is simple. Only thing to make sure is that they will combine shipping and only ship when everything in the order is in stock. Also, check the prices for the items you want to combine because if the prices went up, you will lose your lower price and get whatever the current price is.
-
Ferry is more expensive in some cases when the item is small. I guess it is more efficient to just fly it over.
-
Yep. Probably not a big difference anyways. edit: prices I saw
-
You should actually have had an option to go with faster eco shipping for less than ferry but I guess it depends on your location.
-
It's always better to get from NY if you can get the initial preorder price. And you don't mind possibly waiting longer.
