Display case for minis build

[Thantos]

Looking really good so awesome your HQ set will have pride of place on display.
Will there be a back or a front glass/perspex to keep the dust off? Or open for easy access?

I like the idea of lights being installed. I have plate glass for mine that I salvaged from a construction site, so I only have to install lights in the top of mine.

Unfortunately I haven't had much time to work on mine.

will be using wood for the back. Not sure about the front yet. the arcs will make that complex to do

Put the rest of the bottom rows etched tiles down. Rest of the outside floors will have to wait till I make columns


Cut some guides the exact depth of the prior holes I drilled to make sure I hit the exit.


First Columns wires are now fed through to the back

[phoenixcinder]

Got the rest of the holes drilled and the wires fed through. Then started connecting the 3rd columns wires


Did a quick test run to make sure all polarities are good.



Made small incisions in the wires casing so each lights wires can cleanly wrap around and tap into the correct switch



Soldered all connections and sacrificed an old small paintbrush to brush on the liquid electric tape.


All the wires from the back

[phoenixcinder]

Cleaned up the wires using hot glue then drilled the holes in the top for the columns switches.


Attached the battery pack and got all the wiring connected to the 3 switches


Testing the light on one of the sections


And another shot with a few minis inside

[phoenixcinder]

Decided to cut all the outer columns floors and just use lego blocks as temporary supports till I get proper ones happening so I can keep on working on other parts


Lights all connected for the middle row

[phoenixcinder]

Hit a bit of a snag. The more lights I hook up the dimmer they all become as a whole.As you can see the middle column gets dimmer when I turn the others on. Have a light switch pack that takes D cells coming in the mail to fix the issue.

Just wow! I'd like to have this kind of space in my basement. I think my wife would immediately colonize it.

Are you going to remove or to paint the the Lego pieces later?
