Long story short...................................

- Moved into a 2 bedroom condo a year ago
- Collection was stored in closets due to lack of space
- Got tired of not having my collection visible
- Converted my small patio (completely enclosed, tiled, and insulated), into a small display area


Before
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r49/TATOMAN2525/Picture017-1.jpg

In transition photos (don't mind the light fixture:D) Applied 3 pieces of 24 x 48 inch pegboards on the far wall and another on the side wall. Placed 12" pegs

Just one question? When can I come and visit? :p

lol it makes it easier for people to case the joint! They look in the patio, see the pegs they want to rob the stuff off of, and get in and do it! :D :p

Actually, it's pretty cool, but a bit sloppy IMO!!!! A little more work would do it nice! Maybe paint the holders to match the wall and organize the figures a bit more!

lol:D Nice. You'll have to break through three locks on the door and steal the goods in a timely manner (ADT). Also, if you decide to break a window to get in, chances are you'll run into the detolfs and cut yourself into beef jerky;):D

yeah, it does need quite a bit of tweaking, but it beats the hell out of having all the figs stuffed into closets, bro

Hey I'm mexican, I can do it! Get a couple of my buddies, carry what you can and run! And trust me! It could be all deadbolt locks and it will be easy to break the door down! :D I have had to break a door down with two deadbolt locks because some people lock them selves out like idiots! :p

very nice collection

:) Thanks

...

.. so, you built a toy store..? :p

:D somewhat bro. I still have the other side to work on. I still have a box or two of figs to peg up on another wall and a couple of shelves for boxed sets

By the way how big is that area???

Thanks for the props, FM. The room is pretty small. It's approximately 12' X 6', so I have to use up as much as I can by stacking stuff up high.

Whew...thats an eyefull of awesomeness!

Thanks, K.:)

WOW. Impressive :D And I see we almost have the same Sportspick collection :)

:D Yeah, too bad they're the laughing stock of the NFL:p Hopefully Parcells can clean things up a bit. It'll take a few seasons though. I'm still waiting to get that Pinhead from you, AM. PM me when you have a chance so we can get together, bro:)

Nice, so that's what you were doing this weekend huh? :D

:D Yeah, tell me about it. I still have plenty of work left to do, as this is the fist half of the small room. Maybe we can do Happy Hour Friday, homie:)

Yeah it was, bro:D I don't mind opening up the larger boxed figs, since they can easily be placed back in their boxes. It's the clamshell and carded figs that I have a hard time opening (the downside of collecting MOC:p). Although they are pegged up, it's much better than having them all stored away where they weren't even visible.

I know it's still in progress, but looks good so far. Also, impressive how much stuff you're able to store in such a limited space.....I hope you "fully" secured the pegboards (those things can get pretty heavy). ;)
tatoman2525
02-07-2008, 06:37 AM
Still working on it, here and there. I still have to add a small 2' x 4' pegboard over the sliding glass doors to diminish some of the cluttered pegs on the wall. Also, I'm considering painting the walls red. If I do, I'll have to paint the shelves also, probably black. Although the room seems cluttered, it's much better than having most of my collection stuffed in closets where it really cannot be enjoyed.

lol it makes it easier for people to case the joint! They look in the patio, see the pegs they want to rob the stuff off of, and get in and do it! :D :p

There are vertical blinds on the window plus a black drape. There is absolutely no visibility from the exterior. The door has an alarm. If someone can get through the door, i doubt they can get out without a cap being placed in their ass. Feel free to try to break in whenever you'd like:p:D
