Hello everyone,
I recently decided to get back into collecting after not doing so for a bit over 10 years. I had Jumbo Shoguns when I was a kid in the 70's. In the late 90's I got hardcore about collecting them. I had a decent collection going, MIB T28, Popy Raideen, Poseidon etc. Then in 2004 I was married and felt like I had to sell them, which I did. What a mistake! So here I am now a decade later, starting again. So, anyway I just wanted to share.
This whole reproduction/restoration thing was not going on when I was collecting (at least I was not aware of it) so it has sparked a new interest in trying to restore some and collect again. The past few weeks I've been a little nuts collecting some of my favorites and will continue when funds allow in the future.
So, in August I am moving into a new home and have decided I am going to build a nice enclosed case for my collection with plenty of growing room. Ideally, I want it to have glass shelves, 3 rows tall enough for machinders if possible. Maybe 8 feel wide?
Ideas on this? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Also, Derik at Shogun plastics is awesome! I have already bought some parts from him and wow, I am impressed. This fall I am wanting to start my first conversion project. A blackout Great Mazinga!
