Title: Whats Next ?
Post by: Rodger on October 09, 2009, 08:09:37 PM

As I wind down the Cantina 4 Project i'm contiplating what to do next. 

Short and sweet comes to mind but the subject isn't quite clear.

Any suggestions on a simple wall mounted Toy display are welcome.

Even though i'm not a Hot Wheel collector persey. I do like there Muscle cars and am planing to do something along thought lines but also something Star Wars will be included.

Maybe along an AT-AT line or something... [at1]

What do you think ?

I think an ATAT based shelf would be cool as would a wide gammut of other items.  I saw someplace where a guy build a display shelf based on the "interior" of an ATAT, I remember it was a pretty cool concept.

 Me being an OT guy, even a cloud city themed shelf could be cool.

Yes! A cloud city themed shelf would be so cool. Make it like the landing platform the Falcon was sitting on with a walkway leading to it and possibly some background building forms. BMF sized, of course.

I, too, like the Bespin Cloud City concept for something.  Also, that AT-AT theme would be cool as perhaps a figure display?  A lot of possibilities for them both...

With the work I have seen from you Roger with the Ulitimate TIE Fighter display, something with an AT-AT would make me pass out, from excitement.

Thanks for the replys !!  ;D

Cloud City Landing Platform I have considered in the past.

The idea before was to size it for a Slave I  but the BMF would be Very Cool but VERY Large !!  :o

A BMF is tops on my wish list  But still a wish...  :(

Maybe .... I'll get back to ya'll on it !!   ;)

A Slave 1 sized platform would be very cool,  most people wouldn't have the room for a BMF shelf and brackets I would assume,  I have my BMF on a round table top blank on top of a book shelf and it still looks unwieldy.

I think for now going with a slightly smaller (shipable) version of this.

I still have some computes and tactical screens. The proceeds to fund a BMF project.

After tackling this whopper...

I think I can get a handle on a BMF.. :D

The pending sales of the Cantina IV shelves proceeds are going to fund a video camera cuz I am dying to do live Tutorials.

Unfortunatly not. Between Fall work inside and out at our place and my mother in-laws, packing up toys bound for Austria, and switching over to a new computer I haven't had any time to go into Frank'nstein mode.  :-\

The good news is i've been enthused to go into writing mode.

The first of the Bar tutorials is up.. Preview (http://www.thenewsandcrawlerworkshop.com/Shelves/Cantina/TMOCantinaIVBarVessels/tabid/155/Default.aspx)

I have another almost done. I've decided to Auction off Cantina IV #1.  ;)

I would like to wrap up all the writing before hand though.

Rodger, I will say one thing. It would be a honor to own one of your Battle of Hoth shelves.

I would take that Sarge! Its nice to feel the walker love here. LOL.

On a more serious note Rodger, I do have some ideas I would like to run by you for a walker shelf based on the new IMPS stories. If you haven't seen that yet by the way, I highly recommend it. The way they load up ships, atats, etc. so reminds me of your shelves.
