Looks good, how much did those detofs cost you if you don't mind me asking?

The big unit on the right is a PAX. All in, including the lighting, the shelves, the doors, and the custom acrylic panels...maybe around $800 or so.

The tall skinny unit on the left is a besta with a modified vara door from ikea (I posted a 'how to' earlier in this thread, but ikea has changed up their product line recently...I'm not sure that the vara comes in this size anymore). I probably spent more than I needed to on this...it was the first run through, so there was some experimenting. I think you could get this setup done for around $200.

The bookshelves are expedits from ikea. I believe these units have been replaced by something called kallax, but they are nearly identical. These are about $50 each.

These are Canadian dollar amounts, so maybe a bit less in the US.

Yup. Everything is from ikea except the clear acrylic panels.

Well, the recent Daredevil PF pre-order inspired me to pick up a piece that I have been considering off and on for quite some time. I don't normally collect busts, but I figured I'd make an exception for the Man Without Fear 9pretty much tied for my favorite character with Spider-Man). I am very impressed with this piece. I plan for this to be the centerpiece of my Daredevil display.

So, Here Comes Daredevil:

Continuing with the Daredevil theme, I managed to snag this beauty from a fellow Freak.

The Art Asylum Daredevil! I wasn't 100% sold on this piece, but I decided to go out on a limb and pick it up for a good price. I am sure glad I did, as it looks so much better in person. This piece is very stylized in the look of Joe Quesada's artwork, and is based on the cover of Daredevil Vol. 2 # 3.

Art Asylum did a very nice job replicating the cover in 3D form. It is very cool how the billy club cable wraps around the cross. I still don't love the face and mask sculpt on this one, but it is still pretty nice. The rest of the statue is beautifully done.

Enjoy:

Thanks, guys. I am pretty pleased with this DD bust. I am not going to run out and start collecting busts, but I am glad to have this one for my DD collection.

Here are some low quality teaser pics for my re-worked custom modern Thor. For those who haven't been following along, I bought the original comic Thor EX, it arrived damaged, UPS denied the insurance claim, and I was stuck with the damaged goods. I discovered a semi-local artist that had done a few of these Thor's before, and decided to make lemonade out of my lemon.

After the first go around, I decided to have the guy add some detailing to the helmet (re-worked the nose piece and added the 'V' line detail) and wrist guards (made them larger, gave them a smooth finish, and painted to match the shirt), and also do a re-work of the armor scales (the lines delineating the scales are thinner now, and the scales are a more consistent size/shape throughout).

I think it turned out pretty nicely. There are a few areas that I want to touch-up, and may attempt to do that on my own (some paint areas and some of the scales). These areas are mostly in largely hidden locations, so I'm not 100% sure I will work up the courage to do it.

At any rate, he looks pretty good as-is, and I definitely think it looks better than it did before. I will post some higher quality pics later, with some before and after comparisons.
