Not my scale but I'd love the gate and 2-3 book cases.

I suppose you could argue that the gate works in about any scale as long as the figures aren't bigger than the gate and then similar logic could be put into the bookshelves, like those big ones in public libraries instead of the home-sized one it's meant to be.

I only collect 1:18 figures so the figures will need to be traded or sold off.

I do like that Spawn one too.
I can start with some lab equipment stuff I know I don't have... yet... Upcoming NECA Alien accessory set 7" scale but I am going to use the stasis chambers to add diversity to my stasis chambers. Pre-order is available at BBTS Batman The Dark Knight X-Pandables Bat Bunker Lair of Joker TRU Animal Planet Deep Sea Lab Dr. Who Dalek spaceship - This is a papercraft playset The Incredible Hulk movie line Transforming Chamber X-Men - Weapon X lab Pokemon Fossil Generation center G-Force Training Center Van Helsing Castle pieces Star Trek 2009 Transporter Would have to be re-purposed to be lab equipment. Star Wars Hoth Bacta Tank Han Solo Torture rack Muppets Beakers Lab Swamp Thing transducer Mega Man Dr Wiley's Lab Last edited by theArchivist; 04-21-2016 at 05:28 PM.. |

I respect commitment but I could never swear myself to only one scale simply because some of my favorite licenses don't have proper if any 1:18 representation. There was the 3.75" line Mezco did for horror but they are pretty hard to come by now. Or now Mezco is finally doing some 3.75" Mortal Kombat figures but it feels like Hasbro's current Marvel situation where the price difference between the scales is only around $4 which makes it harder to justify getting the smaller figures, especially since I jumped on getting some 6" MKX figures.

I've never seen that before. It looks like there is 2 of them. One for the 8" figures ad 1 for the 3 3/4" figures. I like the look of the bigger one. Both of them are well outside what I would spend on something like that though.
I found these pictures on the internet of them. Here is both the large and mini one. |

Luckily I don't really have to worry about cost differences and can just get whatever I like most. The Marvel stuff is actually cheap compared to some of the new stuff out there like Lost Planet, HIYA Aliens, Boss Fight VHACKS, Acid Rain, Japanese figures, All the awesome stuff Kickstarter campaigns have been cranking out, etc... |

What good is a collection if you cannot enjoy it by displaying it. I discovered the hard way I just don't have the space or money for anything bigger.

This project is for my Remco Universal Studios Mini Monsters, which are in 1/18 scale. I recently acquired a set of fast food mini monsters, some of which came with accessories. The Frankenstein Monster came with a monotone gray plastic lab table, which came in 3 pieces. As you can see from the pictures, it fits the Remco figure perfectly, so I decided to give it a custom paint job. Out of the entire set, I feel this is the best piece. It is simple to make, yet communicates the idea of the lab table perfectly. I am disappointed Remco never thought of anything like this.
I started by disassembling it and giving the pieces a good base coat of white paint. This will help preserve the integrity of the colors I use. Next I repainted the base parts of the table gray. I added detail with brown for the straps and bronze for the “moving parts,” those elements that look like mechanical parts of the table. I painted black in the channels for the knobs and white, yellow, green and red in the gages. I trimmed the gages in bronze and used a sewing pin to dot the holes in the straps with black. CCC. |

One of my favorite accessorie pieces is a little tool box that came in the iron man mefa blocks line. It two separate piece that like a real tool box open up to hold tool. It came with a hammer and wrench but I added to mine a sonic screw driver a star trek 2009 movie phaser and a gijoe glock and tiny tablet. Really should get them casted.

I really like paper-craft props because they're cheap and allow for ample customization in a display. I made this arcade cabinet a few years back and wanted to make more for an arcade/comic-shop diorama but my color printer went to shit and I had to throw it away and upgrade to a laser printer but it only does black and white. Maybe one day I'll go to a print shop and make some more but right now I've at least got the one.

That's awesome, En Sabah! These may be a bit pricey but I bought this and a pacman hallmark ornament and they are very nicely detailed:
