"Do You Use a Display Cabinet?" Topic

Do you use a display cabinet to store or display your painted miniatures, buildings, and other models? The cabinet could be anything from a china cupboard to a small nicknack cabinet and so on as long as it has shelves and is enclosed.

Yes
No
Not currently but I'd like to some day
I don't own any models or miniatures to display

Not yet, but I hope to soon.

Yes but for my collectable "toy soldiers"

I own 6 . 3 wall mount arcrylic cases used for 1/25 scale cars . 2 Gemo glass ones one home made . My whole collection is on display when waiting deployment tothe next battle

NO!

Yes, a proper double sized glass display cabinet that I bought from Peter Nathan's Toy Soldiers when they moved out of the Tin Soldier. Cost me $1,300.00 AUD installed, and have never regretted it.

Once I have more space will invest in others. There's a guy in Sydney Australia who sells these and somewhat cheaper ones to hobbyists and collectors in Sydney, PM me if you want his contact details. It's not super duper cheap, but they are excellent quality and they do installation.

Yes for my collectibles including painted figures and various decorations.

IKEA has a number of good looking glass cabinets around a hundred bucks.

Yes.

I have two IKEA "Billy" cabinets with extra glass shelves and glass doors for the minis, and another four for boardgames. They are in pairs, bolted together and to the wall.

Yes,

Like darthfozzywig, som Ikea Billy shelves with shelves and doors as well as some smaller half height shelves. Keeps the dust away and fits lots in – terrain, paints, books, half done projects and more.

Ikea bookcases (no glass) with extra shelves for my figures, terrain in boxes.

Not for my minis. I do have 2 big display cases for some of my anime figures though.

I do have one, but gave up on getting more – If I were to put all my figures in them I would need 20, and taking them out and putting them back after a game is a bit of a PTA. Plus they attract dust.

I have a small case in my lounge filled with unfinished Army's just as a visual reminder to do the rest of the figures. The rest are stored away in my games room. Visitors quite like to have a look at what I'm doing.

Awesome room, Ironlegs!

The house I moved into last year nicely came with a big old dresser with two glass fronted cabinets. More figure storage than I'll need for a good while yet.

Yes, but they are for the figures I paint for Barb. (Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries)
My stuff is in various Sterlite boxes in the garage.

no

Nope.

yes…kinda sorta….

No – use the tool box it's easier.

Kinda.
Mostly shelves for terrain.

We'll get there

Working on glass doored cabinets….

Yep, I find a chunk of wood, I make a brand new shelf on the wall.

Yes.

I use an old home made china cabinet for some. A small sideboard and hutch for some others. Many of my 25mm figures are in wall mounted display cabinets in my game room, and in the living room.

Ikea display cabinet with light €50.00 EUR Very nice.

Not currently but I'd like to some day

WarWizard: Not currently but I'd like to some day

Ditto there

Yep, from Ikea.

YES, but need a couple more…

"Not currently but I'd like to some day"

Yes. My wife bought them because she wanted to display my 'artistry'.

"Not currently but I'd like to some day"
Once I re-finish my basement, my wife(!) insists I buy display cases for my figures.
