Display case for minis build

[Anderas]

ah no, not in the build, but in general yes. I am talking about those great icons you made for the lytchmire dungeon kickstarter of Thantos. They're yours, so I don't want to share them.

My wave 2 arrived so I have a bunch more icons to make . Once they are all done I will post them on here somewhere. For now I post them on FB as I get them done

I have a couple of the wave 2 icons made on my modern cards. They might save you a bit of time if you can use them and edit as desired rather than having to use a photo process. Morcar and 2 of the wizards

tried to find them with no luck

This is the morcar card and icon. I'll see if I can find the icon files so you can have the icon by itself.

OK back at it with the build. As the new battery pack finally arrived.
I lucked out though, if the battery pack was just 1mm longer it wouldn't have fit. But due to its overall size I will be having to sacrifice the top section of the middle column. So I will have to think on how that will play out design wise


Wired all of the remaining sections except for the top row. As it will have to be wired differently due to its larger height and I will have to work around the arches. The lights still dim a bit as I turn on more switches but overall its much better.


With all of the lights in place I put in all of the front coverings to reduce glare and have it look more finished

[phoenixcinder]

Due to the large size of the new battery pack I am closing off the top section of the middle row. I etched a tree to fit the arc.


Adding lights to surround the etched tree


Testing out the lights on the tree

Excellent idea of making the shelves floor tiled.

[phoenixcinder]

Time to install the metal sheet backing. Chose this for its reflectiveness to bounce around the light some. Used some popsicle sticks to raise the area where the guide will be for the metal backs. Then glued and screwed the guide in to keep the sheets in place



Had to replace the battery pack yet again. Had a friend whose an electritian wire up a 3 d battery holder so the columns now won't dim when another is turned on. Added a guard so it doesn't fall out. then another guide along the top to secure the metal sheets in more.


Here is the display so far. Will have to wire lights in the upper corner sections a bit different as they will have the arc in front plus the area is much taller

[phoenixcinder]

Lights added to the last 2 sections. Used 5 lights for these ones and drooped them due to the front peice


Lined the inside of the front piece with tinfoil to help bounce the light around better. Attached to the front but left some space so I can get some acrylic or plexiglass that I can slide in place to stop sawdust from getting on the minis


Mounted on the wall with each section lit
