stackables Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I just picked up my Ikea Frame and was planning on building the shelves for my figs out of wood. However, I just saw this video: The builder doesn't give instruction on how the shelves are built or how many pieces he used but I was planning on attempting this. Anyone got a guess on how many and what pieces are used? Or a guess on how the shelves were built? Looks like he uses 2x6 plates, 1x6 plates, 2x2 plates, 1x2 plates and 1x2 clear bricks. I think this display would give me more flexibility than the wooden shelves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seapotato Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 That is pretty cool. I might have to try this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedsausage Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 As cool as that is, it would be way better if it was 16 figs across. Then each row would could be one CMF series. Nice non the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I turned it sideways, im sure it would fir 16 CMF's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 the platform is 2 plates thick and 3 studs deep if that helps how wide is the interior of the frame your using? how thick (deep) is the frame also? The depth of them is 1 3/4" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romoore245 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I am starting one myself I found these on sale at michaels for $30 they are lighted and a little deeper than many I found also the front opens, I made a small one as a test run and used a 2x4 ripped down to make the shelves and braces for them. I painted it all black and hot glued them in place added bricks across for the figures. my small one is here https://www.dropbox.com/sc/pbcagjauhmweweu/AACvx2pCbczAljrCwKwFW3dDa I got the idea from this page I came acrosshttp://www.nubcakes.blogspot.com/2011/10/lego-minifigure-display-cases.html .

stackables Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 I also saw that method too. I think I am just going to buy a bunch of black plates and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 I tried to emulate the video in my original post. I think I counted 60 pegs across. Anyone want to verify that? I ordered what I thought would be the correct amount of pieces and it turns out to get close to the frame, I needed 61 pegs. Now this throws off where I place the middle column in each row. It makes it not exactly in the middle. The structure is not as stable as I would like too. Anyone use the same frame to build a display? If so, did you need 61 pegs across?

Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 looks like there are two studs after the feet of the trooper on the right side and only 1 on the left if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
