That looks sweet.  Where did you source the white cabinets from?

Looks like a great room.   :o

(And a lovely view from the window.  Hope they never build new homes on those fields.   ;) )

Strange, I have one of those and just didn’t recognise it LOL.  I think it’s the glass shelves that have thrown me.  Are they available as extras then?  I thought they just did extra wooden ones.

Nice I like the cabinets. I'm just coming to the end of giving my wargames space a major face lift. It's taken me about six weeks, though that includes packing everything up into new storage boxes, so everything could be moved out and I could completely gut the space at start pretty much from scratch (new floorboards ceiling the lot). I'm just down to sorting out my painting table/modelling bench now. I have to say , and I imagine it's the same for you, It feels good to have a nice fresh and organised space. I think for the first time in a while I know where everything is and I'm not going to stumble across something I bought and then forgot about  :D

Most definitely, it’s great to have a dedicated room for hobby stuff, I do my painting in another room but didn’t have much storage space so this works lovely for me, yeah you can buy glass shelves from IKEA to fit the billy bookcases, they come with all the fittings etc, I’m going to get a couple more as I have more stuff to fill the cabinets with now

Nice.    A good minis display cabinet is always worth the effort.   Dig the roman helmet too.

Have I missed something here ?
Those world famous Billy bookcases, have wooden shelves fitted, not glass.
I’ve got 3 of them, and as you said, I bought extra wooden shelves.
Figures then get put on £1 metal baking trays, so that they can easy go on, and come off the shelves.
Job done.

Yeah they have wooden shelves but you can buy extra glass shelves, which I have done if you check the top shelves of my pic

Post by: flatpack on August 16, 2021, 11:28:24 PM

Right, I can see it now.
Why did you buy glass shelves ?

Post by: majorsmith on August 16, 2021, 11:37:15 PM

more Slim line than the wood ones plus more light
