Re: Project #1 - Sideshow Curio

Just moved some tubs into the closet along with my box of all the ornaments and other supplies. Will also put my comic boxes in there as well.

Also, bookcase #1 has been moved in. Working on restocking it's shelves. Will take pics of everything when it's done.

Re: Project #1 - Sideshow Curio

Just moved the last bookcase in and starting to organize some. This seems like it's taking forever...

Re: Project #1 - Sideshow Curio

Got all my SS stuff moved in (whew). ATM, it's rather depressing but once the curio is done I'll actually have a display!

Still have some goodies to move in and then I'll take pics of the whole shabang.

Ok, close enough to give a tour so here goes:

As you enter the room, in the center is/will be my Yoda's Hut display:

Straight ahead on the left side of the wall will be/is my Luke/Yoda Premium Format display:

To the right of that on the same wall is my Trade Paperbacks comics bookcase with Clone Wars 3 3/4 display:

On the next wall on the far left, is my novels bookcase:

In the center are my 80 inch shelves for my 3 3/4 collection:

The left:

The middle:

The Right:

On the far right of this wall is the second bookcase which has all my youth novels and books in it.

And then there's the closet that houses my boxes and my comics:

And here is where my curio will be full of my Sideshow stuff:

You and me both! Tired of looking at just boxes of stuff.

Just got in the main component for my Yoda's Hut display. When we're able to get back on the curio in a couple of weeks the plan is while stain and stuff is drying, I'll be working on this display.

Still glass shopping. Prices are killing me!

Re: Project #1 - Sideshow Curio NEW PICS last post

Great news--I found my glass!!!

Should be ready for pickup next Thursday and the finishing process will commence next Sunday more than likely.

So it's get the glass, do some sanding, staining and sealing and the beast will be complete!

Re: Project #1 - Sideshow Curio NEW PICS last post

Started prepping it for the finishing stages today. Most likely 3 work sessions to go until complete. Next one will be in 2 weeks and that will be fitting the glass, taking it apart and sanding it and finally staining it. The last two sessions will be sealing it.

Should be some new pics next session!

Also, started planning out the Yoda's Hut display and the dimensions for it. I've got most, if not all, of the material except for the acrylic but the plan is in place and I'll be working on that while the curio is drying.

A little more chatter for Barryo...

Went stain shopping and really didn't find anything I liked so while working this Sunday, at some point, we'll do more stain shopping and hopefully stain that bad boy before I leave. Either way, I'm anticipating pics of the backing mirrors installed and the shelves in place.

Okay, so starting off the day it became apparent that an adjustment would need to be made to the backing for the mirrors to fit and have room for the shelves.

Here's the mirrors that will be behind all the shelves and figures:

And here's the test run of the fitting to the back of the curio ( I had to actually stand on a chair to get most of it in the picture!):

To make the adjustment we needed to make a run to the big box store and while we were there we found the right color stain! Also, we picked up the adhesive for the mirrors and the extra material to correct the alignment.

Here are the infamous 4 foot long, 20 inch deep shelves:

Next weekend, we'll be doing the routing work, mounting the mirrors and then working on shelf supports. If we are able to do two days then we'll also get into sanding and HOPEFULLY, staining.
