You can see a strip in the top of billy case that isn’t on. Those are old IKEA sets that are ok but expensive, not bright and don’t have good color temps. I still like them and will use them as ambient back up lighting because they do have color control. The lights that you see on in both cases are led strip lights similar to what @dafob mentioned a couple pages back. I went with model 3528 strips which are brighter than normal but not quite as bright or more importantly, not as thick as 5050 strips. Also important to me is they are a more daylight color temperature instead of the typical warm temp leds from ikea. They have self adhesive tape on the back and super easy to install. Detolf took less than 10 mins. Billy shelf took a bit over 10 mins because I cut the strip to separate for each side and had to connect it all back with additional wiring. The light sets including power and wireless remote were about $10 each (there was a sale but not much more regularly. Ridiculously good deal and I’m about to return the extra IKEA less I bought before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the total length of light strip used in each detolf that way? 1 roll, which I think was 5 meters, was good for 1.5 Detolfs with the arrangement that I had. I've also got a billy display case like yours but with different doors. I haven't quite decided whether I want to light it up similar to the Detolfs or have the strips on the doors. 16 hours ago, Bolt said: Nice Monster! That’s 1/72? @Sanity is Optionalanswered it! Hi-Metal R Monster, definitely recommend it. It's pretty much what started me down the rabbit hole lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borgified Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 @HardlyNever - Wait till the Silpheed Armoured parts to arrive for the 31s and then get that shelf completely filled up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, that's my thinking I normally have the delta valks together, but I know I'd need the extra space in a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeniusornome Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 @HardlyNever very nice! I like that they're not overcrowded. Been culling my displays to eventually get to a similar setup. @valhary I like how these are paired up! On the bottom shelf, what's the 19 with blue on the right? And it looks like you have a VF-9 in there? Is that a custom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valhary Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Thanks guys! The 19 with blue parts is the Arcadia we are testing a conversion kit for the ravens version The VF-9 cutlass is the resin version design by Xigfrid (link below) And the Thunder hammer is the resin version release a long time ago also we working in a upgrade to make a better version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC Valk009 commissioned and had the kit casted many years ago. It holds up really well and looks good to this day. I have mine in a box along with the 1/48 version which keeps having warp issues since it’s release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
