Miniatures on display

I took advantage of a recent family trip to Ikea to pick up something I’ve had my eye on for a while – their glass display case. The case was fairly simple to assemble – or so my wife tells me – and it hold fully four shelves of models, like so:

Some closer images of each shelf:

The top shelf holds the Warhammer 40k collection, mainly featuring the industrial terrain and the knight I painted several years ago.

The next shelf down needs more models. The ruined tower display is mainly there for dust protection just now. Once I locate my Saga army, it will probably go here.

The tablescapes dungeon covers almost two whole shelves, and this is the upper level, filled with monsters, mostly from models painted over the past couple of years. There is a Necrarch vampire there which would have been painted in 2002, and a few older models here and there.

The lowest shelf (and blurriest pic) has been filled with the dungeon tiles and features as many fantasy hero models as I could locate, plus a dwarf team which has clearly turned up for dungeonbowl!

 

What next? Well, it occurred to me that there’s lots of unused space due to the dimensions of the cabinet. The design does not allow for other shelves to be easily added. However I’m thinking that some plastic pillars from a cake shop attached to some mdf or sturdy cardboard could make some extra space in between one or two of the shelves. We’ll see.
