Burn's long fabled collection

Postby Burn » Thu Jun 09, 2011 10:45 pm

For years i've spoken about my collection, but i've never been able to show it off as I lacked the room to display it.

But I have the room now and have begun unpacking! So here we go, the first pics as I slowly set up my collection!

Oh and i'm VERY open to tips on taking photos.

Cabinet of Optimus Prime / Convoy / Ginrai

July 10 2011


That shelving system where the G1 were pictured? It's about 6 foot tall, very big.

Top Shelf - G1 Autobots (mostly pre-movie)
Second Shelf - G1 Decepticons (mostly pre-movie)
Third Shelf - G1 Autobots (mostly post-movie)
Fourth Shelf - G1 Decepticons (mostly post-movie)

Under that I could have added another shelf but it would haven't been very high, so I left it out opting instead for a big gap between the bottom and the fourth shelf. Initially I had Scorponok, Trypticon, Predaking, and a couple of Micromaster bases there with all the Micromasters in a different shelving system.

Didn't like that plan as Micromasters don't need a lot of room and it didn't matter where I put them, they were going to be taking up space that could be used for larger figures.

So I decided to build a tier system to go into the bottom shelf. Scorponok, Trypticon, and Predaking will move to the bottom shelf of the Beast shelves.

So here's some pics of the tier system in development. Would probably have finished the build this afternoon ... except I ran out of timber and the store is closed.

The brown slab of timber underneath is actually the spare shelf, used it for measuring up purposes.

So now onto the fun part of putting all the Micromasters in place!

I like looking inside your house...

(if you're using a point and shoot digital camera, lots of light, stand back way further than you might expect to need to and take the pics at a high resolution. Crop down. Taking the pics too close will give you all kinds of lighting issues)
Go on...click her...

Show me your customs.

Show them with the Battle Blades, and do send ME an XS2 ionized null ray. For safety.

That collection is epic. I can't wait to see more of it.

I really like that custom black-and-white Ultra Magnus, too.
THANK YOU HASBRO! You listened to my begging. Ultra Magnus lives again.

Haven't uploaded to Photobucket, you'll just have to contend with seeing them on Facebook!
