Hey Bogle! I saw your first two videos and was inspired to make a case of my own. I also used this exact shelf in this video. Instead of letting the fabric hang loose on the back I had purchased some melamine board I found next to the acrylic in Lowe's. I cut it down to the size I needed, then wrapped my fabric around it and glued the edges on the back side. I placed the backing in first, then the wooden shelf and it left it with a very clean look free of loose fabric and wrinkles. It also covered the holes on the frame of the shelf. Can't tell the difference between what you showed me how to build and a moducase. Thank you!
The only reason why I didn’t use board in the back was incase a base of a statue was to large it could hang off the back with fabric but I definitely thought about using board. Thanks for the feedback
Bought the same shelf but 48wx72H was thinking of doing same way before I saw your video now that I seen it I know it’s gonna look good . Thank u for doing this video
This is great, thanks so much for sharing!!! I loved your previous video too on this, but this one with the zip tie suggestion is even better! THANKS!!
Finally a video that doesn't make me have more questions and fo huh....only scary part I wish the case to be longer to display maybe a hottoys batmobile or Falcon cockpit also worry how strong will the shelves be holding those items ? The acrylic still scary because since I want a longer shelf I'll need longer acrylic. How would that work?
Nice! I made a few shelves using ideas from your method. I love the way it looks. One suggestion I have that people might want to try, is to use some rare earth magnets for keeping the curtain nice and tight. Theyre extremely strong and they stick to the garage shelf uprights perfectly. I actually only have a little bit of tape on the very top of the display holding the curtain, the rest is just the magnets keeping it in place and wrinkle free.
Thank you so much for these videos man! It’s been a struggle to display my 1/4 scale Darkseid from Weta Workshop due to the depth and these tutorials have been a godsend. Next up for me is the acrylic, have you had any issues with bowing? I’m looking at ordering a sheet 170cm wide x 120cm high (about 67x47 inches) wondering if I should go for 3mm or if 4.5mm thickness would be safer. Thanks!
how dust proof would you say these are? been watching tons of DIYs today (have my first big statues arriving this fall) and looking to get them displayed properly.
This is great, the first vid was crystal clear to me but more content never hurts. What kind of paint did you use for the shelves? Will the paint not damage the statue after a while by sticking to the bottom?
Great question. I used a black satin enamel and made sure to let it cure over night. I then did a light pass of matte spray finish on them to prevent tackiness.
@BogleArts only other idea might be a material that doesn't reflect so much light? I haven't looked into it, not sure if it would be too costly for this type of DIY project.
@@Hiddendimension1 ok thanks for the quick reply I was wondering too if the loss of 2 inches in the depth is worth it and I just bought the the shelf from your 1.0 video and idk if I should return it and go with this new version
Ok i see you used the curtains as the backdrop. I thought that was just for the shelves. I was trying to find black poster boards. I found some i just hope you don't see the cuts in them. worst case ill use the curtain. thanks again.

Great video man. Your first videos introduced me to the garage shelving idea. Getting ready to build my first one.
Let me know how it goes
Any tips on what paint you used on the shelves? Also did you have to sand them or anything? I can't find a good answer so far
@@mattbentley2909 just a regular satin black paint in a can from Walmart. Just rolled it on. Hit it with a clear matte coat after so it wasn’t tacky
Awesome, thanks for the help

Absolutely!

Great suggestion
I would also iron the curtain

This DIY display case is perfect for my collection 😍 thank you
Hi just came to ask how the velcros holding up , im undecided between that and using magnets
how dust proof would you say these are? been watching tons of DIYs today (have my first big statues arriving this fall) and looking to get them displayed properly.
It handles dust really well actually

Hey Bogle,
Thanks for continuing to update the methods. Would you trust these make-shifts to display your Prime 1 pieces?
It just depends on the specific piece
Very nice 👍
Good stuff. Definitely need to iron out the wrinkles, but once that's done, they will look great.
I used a steamer and they came out great. Did that the day after I filmed all this.
@BogleArts only other idea might be a material that doesn't reflect so much light? I haven't looked into it, not sure if it would be too costly for this type of DIY project.
Question could I add acrylic on the sides like your 1.0 version
Absolutely
@@Hiddendimension1 ok thanks for the quick reply I was wondering too if the loss of 2 inches in the depth is worth it and I just bought the the shelf from your 1.0 video and idk if I should return it and go with this new version
Awesome
one question....what about dust? I love how simple you made this look.
Really good with dust control.
@@Hiddendimension1 that's brother. You versions seems to be the most cost effective one yet. Thank you so much
Thanks!!
Ok i see you used the curtains as the backdrop. I thought that was just for the shelves. I was trying to find black poster boards. I found some i just hope you don't see the cuts in them. worst case ill use the curtain. thanks again.
I used the curtains incase a base is bigger than the shelf it can hang off the back
Doesn't look very good if I'm being honest but I appreciate the video as it can inspire for other things
Once the fabric was steamed and not wrinkled that did a lot. But yea this is just how I do it so feel free to change anything to suit your vision.
