Sorry I'm late to the party here, Jas... Cool idea chronicling the progress during your room setup. I'm contemplating doing the same thing myself, but I don't have a damned digital camera yet, and I've been too lazy/scared to venture into the carnage that is my current collection room (more like a storage facility, really). Boxes piled floor to ceiling throughout...
So it's cool, and helpful, to watch your progress, and see how you decide to display stuff. Gives me some good ideas of what I'd like to do, or not do, so keep 'em coming! Looks good so far. Probably a good thing you lost the pix of the shelf collapse too.
It's been so long since I've had any of my stuff out, that I forget how big a lot of it is, especially those vehicles. So it's really helpful to get a visual reminder of just how screwed I'm going to be when I try to display all of those.
Also fun to see just how crazy out-of-control the Jabba's Palace and Cantina dioramas are eventually going to be too!
Makes me rather nervous trying to figure out just how in the hell I'm going to display even half of my stuff (no chance on the carded collection being displayed for a long time, I'm sure).
So how many complete walls are you working with altogether? About 3 or so, once you've excluded the blinds and door? Is there a closet in there too? I've got 2 1/2 walls to work with, but the 4th wall is one GIANT closet, which is great for additional storage. I'm contemplating taking the 3 sliding doors on it down, and using it for actual display instead, but I'm not sure yet.
Dig the Biggs Anchorhead scene down there too! Looking forward to more updates, so I can continue to pick your brain and ideas! Good job so far!
