Protoman's Collection (Do you know fear.....)

[Protoman]

It has begun........ the move is 100%, construction is almost at it's end and the Complete G1 USA/UK/Japan shelve is ready.......

More to come......................

(Glass doors, glass shelving that is 3 feet deep each, lights on all 3 sides)

(Also I just used those figures to show how high each shelving is)

**UPDATE 04-22-2011**

So I figured I might as well show you something that is more or less 100% done in my eyes. My 99% complete SCF Japanese G1 PVC collection (Including chase figures and GIFTs/Custom PVCs by friends). I am missing stupid shit like an EXTRA Star Saber (Colored) and some pewter stuff not shown. Also i

So your going with the museum look? It looks great though plenty of space to showcase your vast collection of Rodimuses (? is that how you pronounce it) Looks awesome though can't wait to see it when you fill the shelves!

[Stapler]

When all is said and done, are you going to start selling tickets to your own personal TF museum? :D It's looking very nice so far, bud. :)

Actually, the Rodimus display is going to be a seperate area. This area is just for every G1 USA/UK/Japan toy ever made. So there WILL be some Hot Rod/Rodimus figures but just the bare minimum of it's individual releases.

Yeah I re-read your initial post after I posted and noticed that little mistake i made... either way can't wait to see it when you put the G1 figures in!

[UltraPrimal]

Kinda looks like a shower stall. :p

Please tell me you've got more shelves than that.

That's JUST G1. Everything G1 ever. If there is space I will put in G1-related stuff like PVCs or other merch and given I STILL have space, G2.

Then I will begin construction of the same thing again, but for Beast Wars to....... I think I can fit up to Cybertron/Galaxy Force. The secret to this is DEEP shelving so you don't waste wall space.

Looking good so far Danno! Where is this in the house? The basement?

Sub Basement. My house has 4 floors (Semi split-level). So the whole level is only for Transformers, cause.......... well I got a lot of stuff to display.

[renegade_decepticon]

WOW! :o can't wait to see it finshed dude, are going to have a special section just for rodimus? i bet you will lol.

[Team Jetfire]

You know, I would expect someone who talks so much game to have more than 7 figures. :P

j/k

Looks like an amazing start.

Haha, yeah I put those Heavy Hitters to make sure the gap between each shelving. Also Road king and Lightfoot are there cause of the F1/Canada connection =P....... that and Masterforce rules

[shockwing]

When I saw this I started hearing epic music...oh wait you edit that in

[Autobot_Lancer]

[jourdo]

How is your display going?

[Buhawi]

nice.

how big is your man cave?

[Protoman]

nice.

how big is your man cave?

3 big rooms. I know..... I know.

[Dragon Knight]

Protoman probably has enough stuff to fill a house I bet!

[jourdo]

How is your display going?

I picked the wrong day to post my pictures. I feel inadequate after browsing here.

[zerocustom]

How will you be organizing your figures in the display? Will they be in mini battles? will you be displaying them in robot or alt mode or half and half? I always find it interesting how other collectors display their figures.

[Buhawi]

3 big rooms. I know..... I know.

you have three rooms?! 3 big rooms! :banghead:

congrats on your man caves.

[vectorsigma2]

That is some amazing negotiations on your behalf..how did you do it!

With force powers, I bet.

unfortunately my powers do not work on my significant other...sigh! kudos to protoman

[miasboytoy]

wow gotta be the cleanest set up so far. now lets fill those cases and take pix lol. btw custom made cases or can you buy them somewhere.

[Protoman]

wow gotta be the cleanest setuo so fay. now lets fill those cases and take pix lol. btw custom made cases or can you buy them somewhere.

I am going to start filling tonight with 1984 to 1986 (Just got home now). Weekdays are busy.

Also they were custom made. What I did was I built a "faux" closet that was 3 feet deep, painted it all white ("Blue White" is the paint color, it's good for light reflection), then put Museum UV Light (They don't cause damage to white surfaces)

[chans formers]

cool set up so far,
now hurry up and get those shelves stuffed!!!!
(btw,did you remember to make an area tall enough for fort max?);p

[pulsedragon20]

Great setup! I wish I have that much space available

[Protoman]

The bottom left area is high enough JUST for Fortress Maximus, Grand Maximus and Brave Maximus. I made it like that with them in mind. I didn't want them in city mode on the actual shelving cause I worry that they will be too heavy on the glass.

[UltraPrimal]

Gasp! Grand? Swoon!

[crimbot]

I absolutely cannot wait to see the finished product, if you decide to grace us with it! This is an astounding setup!

Slowly but surely, right now is the long process of dusting everything. These cases are super clean, new and have doors, I don't want to bring dust into them.

But man........ it takes forever to dust some TFs... (3 Seekers, 1 hour)

With your collection being as large as it is, I can't even begin to imagine how long it'll take you to dust everything....

[Protoman]

It's taking a painful long time (Going by year as I display them), I am also now going through every figure I dust and making sure every gun, missile, landing gear ECT is there, then sorting it away in a better place.......

Guys, never move =P

[chans formers]

the fastest way i use for dusting is to use a shaving brush(the one used to make the lather) and a can of compressed air;)
good thing you don't smoke,the cigarettte resin is a total p.i.t.a. to clean.

[crimbot]

Guys, never move =P

I moved in May, I'm starting to think my collection won't be displayed in it's entirety ever again.

How are you dusting? Compressed air? Fine imported silk tapestries? Q tips? Just wondering what other people use.

Girlfriend's old eye liner brushes for the tough to get areas (like the grills on Seeker jets or just ANYWHERE on a stickered up Omega Supreme).

For larger flat easy areas I am ghetto and I use a paper towel....... oh and I blow..... I blow a lot. :o

[Dragon Knight]

oh and I blow..... I blow a lot. :o

That's what she said:primelaugh:

[Aernaroth]

You could try getting one of those camera air-bladder things that you squeeze to blow air and that have a brush on the end, that might help.

[STI 2NV]

After listening to you on the podcasts and hearing of this vast collection, I'm quite intrigued. I only have a couple hundred and it takes forever to dust them. I have found behind glass they do stay dust free alot longer. Hope to see some WIP pictures.

[Buhawi]

any updates? i've always wanted to see your collection. not that old picture all over the internet.

[miasboytoy]

you update yet?

[Protoman]

Waiting on some clear display stands from yojoe.com. I want to do this right. The only stuff 100% on display right now is the complete SCF PVC line. At the same time I am also working on other parts of my new house like the Library (Comics/Mangas/misc toys) and the Game Room (Anything video game and media related). This is my magnum opus, it will take time, but when it's done........ oh ho ho ho........

[Hobbyist Prime]

The anticipation is killing me!

[crimbot]

I showed my wife your video. She like. You are a pioneer sir. I can't wait to see the finished product!

[Protoman]

See first post for little PVC preview update video

[Malwave]

oh boy, I can only imagine how long the video would be for the eventual Hot Rod portion of your collection. :p

I had this up and running in that one section of the TF floor cause those were all packed away and thus, no dusting needed.

More to come

[MaP_Prime]

Dude, I can't wait to see the fullness of your collection.
