You sir.. are nothing short than a hero. Thanks for making this step by step build!

You are doing a great service to collectors who are starting in this game especially people like myself that don't want to break the bank when it comes to getting shells for hot toys figures and are more than happy enough to do projects like this continue doing what you're doing man great job love the video🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

The end result looks amazing. Not sure why I'm watching a DIY video as I don't think I could do this from a wheelchair 🤣 maybe I can bribe my dad to help. Since my next statue won't fit in a best and I'm too limited on space and money for a moducase. Thanks for such a clear guide :D

[zeroblade]

Bro. I can't believe how good these turned out. So much so that I'm kinda regretting pre-ordering Moducases that I requested LAST YEAR and still haven't arrived yet (but finally got word its in transit).

This idea is amazing. It's impossible to find a shelf/display case big enough to hold my 1/16 scale aircraft models without a custom expensive order. I needed something that I could close off to repel the cats and this is the best option I've seen so far. Awesome!

[zarnistastudios]

The results are absolutely incredible. Absolutely amazing

[silviofoj]

I'm looking for a cheap way to display my Iron Studios 1/10 collectibles and you just gave me an amazing idea. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom.

[GerryHicks-kiuf]

This is awesome. I’m about to build mine. Thank you for ALL the pointers. Thanks & wish me well!

Great videos!!! After watching part 1 I couldn't wait for this one to see the final product. You broke down each step brilliantly and made it easy to follow. The final product you created looks fantastic. This is by far the best DIY display case build I've come across and will definitely be recreating this for my collection. I also like your message at the end of the joy of collecting and how it helps with mental health. I feel the same way. Thank a million, keep up the great work and happy collecting!

Thanks for sharing. I'm a bit of a Lego junky and a few years ago I purchased a couple of PAX units and shelves to display some of my collection. Problem I ran into is that this is in my home office space and I have multiple computers and a ceiling fan on 24x7 and now have a dog in the house so dust and hair are a huge problem. I've been trying to figure out a way to close off the units and I think with some modifications I could implement this on the PAX units. Your lighting instructions are certainly something I'm going to have to look into implementing as well. I might even look into swapping a few of the wooden shelves with some acrylic ones too. Thanks again for sharing these videos; you really got the creative juices flowing on how to take my displays to the next level!

This was excellent stuff. I was planning out something very similar with the Garage Shelf Unit and Acrylic Sheets, so it was awesome to find a "How-to" video on this!! Very detailed and helpful

[sandertriepels]

What a great video ! Will definitly try this in the future. I like you instantly . Great energy and vibe .. subcribed right away.👌🏻😁👊🏻

[shanenoble]

Incredible. You’ve inspired me to build this myself. Thank you!

[ssmartin]

Just subscribed. Best custom display on YouTube! I've casually been looking for a display for a few years and seriously been looking for one for 3 weeks and nothing beats this one. In addition, too many collectors go black. Even some of the most popular content creators, but white is the way to go. You can't see much of the detail in black. This even rivals Modu Case.
I want to test using clear acrylic corner moldings. 2 even, for each of the front pillars for added support. This way the pillars don't get on the way of the figures. Thanks man!! You did it.

[billpowers]

Good job, Costa. I'ma gonna give it a try.

[thatswhatshesaid]

Thank you so much making the effort and showing it to us. I can only imagine how satisfactory it must have been!

[RMAILLER]

Thanks for this video, I already got the racks for this, before your video I have an idea of how to make it look better, but with your tutorial I think is gonna be easier!

[gizanime]

Wasn't expecting the last few seconds of commentary I hope you're okay friend and things get better, I definitely understand though. Thanks for the build and tips I'll be attempting this soon (going to order it all Friday-Sat).

This video is perfect, it is what I have been looking for
