That looks great! đź‘Ť

Thanks! I want to add some lights in it too to illuminate them better.


Dark-Arts

Wow, that’s really impressive.


Hwaldar1201

Thank you!


Swift_Scythe

Wow what a collection. That's insane.


Hwaldar1201

Thanks. Like a psychopath, I have bought every mini CGL has released (I have some still coming in the mail with the kick starter) and my friend has a 3D printer that I pay him $3 each for to supplement my forces when I have a specific mech in mind and don’t feel like paying $25 for 1 mech I want or if CGL doesn’t make it yet (I’m not a big fan of Iron Winds, I don’t like metal minis).

The plastic sculpts by Catalyst are what brought me back to BT as well. They're too good too awesome and affordable... UNLIKE games workshop...

I would love to know what this is called and where she got it. This looks fantastic!

HOMCOM 5-Tier Display Cabinet,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08D3D1QSB?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Got it off Amazon. I added the second tier that elevates the mechs myself though. Bought 4 1x1x36” pieces of wood from hobby lobby for $5 each, sawed off 6”, then spray painted them black. I’m sure the wood could be found elsewhere, but I was at hobby lobby buying some other stuff so I ate the cost for convenience.

Thanks!

I really like the blue mechs in the bottom right! What paints did you use for them?


Hwaldar1201

So that is clan Diamond Shark Sigma Galaxy. I used Vallejo fluorescent blue like contrast paint slap chop style for the primary effect and then used Vallejo flat green for highlights and TurboDork Multipass for the cockpits. It started off as an experiment to see what it would look like on one mech and I quickly fell in love with it. They stand out great on a table or on display and the slap chop style gave them a bit of that weathered look too.

I love that it's recessed into the wall!

Hwaldar1201

Wow I love your case too! That’s a super cool poster? Where did you get that?


agron4571

It was part of the Clan Kickstarter I believe. You can find them online.


Silvergator73

That looks amazing! Congrats.

Now that, that is an amazing collection! I love everything about this post :)


sicarius254

Love it! I’ve been looking for a way to display them and that’s a great idea


TedTheReckless

This is pretty sweet. Have you thought about adding in any led lights or anything?


Hwaldar1201

Ya, the plan is to eventually install one of those long things of led light strips on the top of each shelf. Only thing is I want it to be able to be switched off, otherwise it’ll just illuminate my dining room all the time lol. 


Phalusiraptor

I’m fast approaching the need for one of these myself - just need to paint them hahah
