Thanks!
Nah, the camera makes it look brighter (hotter) than it really is outside, its not biggie.
AhA!, Skystalker, well... all I can say is it ain't glue, I can take him down anytime... I wonder if anyone can guess/figure it out :-?

Nice collection. I like the way you got the figures spaced out on the book case. It looks alot better than when some of these guys try to cram 25 figures on a single shelf.

Thanks dude, thats what I try to go for... a sort of diorama realism.

My end goal is to have a series of shelves that surround a collection room, acting like a continous battlefield, so anywhere you look around the room, you see Decepticons and Autobots battling. I sheer away from ever showing my collection off as just a buncha hording with no thought behind posing/placement.

I approve of that last statement.

Well done, that person!

As for Skystalker: blue/white tack?

more like hole and rubber.
okay... more like transparent elastic that comes with nowadays figures + hole in wooden boolshelf. Just hook it around a behind the scenes object (inch long sized) and the foot of the figure... voila. Suspended vertical placement

Ingenious..!

I prefer the white tack idea, personally.
The Soundwave in my cabinet is stuck to the glass with some, and it comes off easily without having to modify displays or furniture.

But I'll say this again, nice display overall!
Like your style.

Thank ye very much

I need some energon cubes so the drones can work away at mining in the background.
Yea thats a pretty good idea using white tack, i'll have to get some... theres lots more I would love to do with posing my figures that wont happen from normal physics. Although there is a great amount of satisfaction from getting them in really dynamic poses with no external help.

That is true indeed.
As soon as I can find a working camera, I'll try taking a shot of my Battle Blade Bumblebee and ROTF Sideways.
I love how much posability those guys have.

(Around Christmas I should be able to update my collection thread, at the moment it's quite scarce, and it's missing some of its prized pieces.. )
