Thanks to Rivaskiy Li and Fen Li for creating the templates!
I had to adjust the size to fit my 3.75" figures and make a middle section in Photoshop to fit my corner cabinet. I'm very pleased with the results! |

Fantastically brilliant! If I hadn't seen the ball joint hips on those guys I would have sworn it was that promo shot of the life size display and I would have never thought it was made from paper.

I have no experience with papercraft and it was actually pretty easy to make! Just make sure you use card stock and not regular copy paper and try to use tape whenever possible for future repairs.

You can, lol. I know what your saying. What I'm saying is living in a 1 bedroom apartment with limited display space, and my cabinet is getting mighty full, have sold of random toys to make more room for ML figures, sold off all my MU figures to Jackieboy and Marvelknight and other arkers. I have just about every ML IM figure ever made, almost all the IM1 movie figures and about a 1/3 of the select items, my shelf is getting full. I may eventually invest in a larger display. I could cheaply make some wooden shelves, but I like have the figures behind glass, less dusting and risk of falling/getting damaged.

Wow...papercraft hall of armor is something I'd never thought possible! What if you were to print and paste these to styrene to build a permanent one?

You definitely could, but the card stock is very strong already. I can pick up the entire display at one end and it doesn't flex at all. It should last a long time!

The side construction had a seam in the wrong spot IMO so I combined the two side wall templates into one which made for a smoother final appearance. I still suggest using two with one on top of the other for depth and strength with one having all of the lighter color trimmed out. After you build your first one this tip will make more sense. |

I used a string of LED lights. If you do a search on eBay for "fairy LED lights" you can see what they look like. Basically a string of LED's with a battery box that you can position inside each light bar. Each half of my setup uses one string.
The design is very well made but it isn't perfect. Once you make two or three bays you start to understand where you might need to adjust certain folds, etc. in order for everything to fit properly. Below are the templates I used. I chose to get rid of the bluish color on the backdrop because it looked ugly when I printed these on gray cardstock. Make sure to open these in a new tab so you can save the full size image and print at exactly 300 DPI on an 8.5 x 11 sheet for best results! These have been re-sized to fit 4" figures.

This is Samurai8472's 6" version with his Revoltech figures on display. Very cool!
Wish the 4" Hasbro figures had light up chest RT's too! |
