    Thanks for this! Was looking at a few of the DETOLF but this is much more practical. I've got minis and Gundams, and I think it will be good for both!

    Nice! I have a 4 by 4 Kallax unit with a bunch of dividers, but no glass doors - dust is my enemy. I also have 12 shelves. I still don't have enough room - if there's a flat space in my hobby room, it will get covered.

    Great looking solution. I saw a great solution on a HeroQuest Facebook page the other day and asked the guy what it was. He said his neighbour was throwing out an old DVD storage unit/shelf and by god it's the perfect size for miniatures without the usual problem of far too much height on a standard bookshelf. Going to investigate this solution.

    • @Andy2D6
      @Andy2D6  2 роки тому

      For display quality or small amounts of extra special miniatures I'd want something shallow. The one I've gone for is good for display/storage hybrid.

    Great job. Is it possible to have it wall mounted or does it have to be resting on the floor?

      One this size would probably have to be touching the floor. It's a beast. Some of the smaller ones are suitable for wall mounting.

    This is amazing! Nice find. Is there any gap around the glass fronts? Be interested to know how much, if any, dust creeps in. Even Ikea Detolfs let some dust in, unless you rig them with excluders. EDIT: Looks like a tiny gap so shouldn't be a big issue.
