Earlier this year I was reading
Action Figures Adventures when I found a great project that Buzz Chuck had worked on: Turning a California Job Case into a display box for minifigures and other smaller toys! A
California job case is a fascinating type of tray featuring 89 distinct compartments that was used to store movable type for letterpress printing. As soon as I watched Buzz Chuck's video I immediately had to locate one. I told my parents about this since they tend to travel to lots of flea markets and antique stores and they found one within a month or so. It's taken me a few months but last night I finally mounted this cool tray in our living room while my wife and daughter helped me fill in the compartments. Pretty cool, right? I have a contest based on my display case soon so stay tuned!
This is great for those oddball figures that usually end up getting stashed.I love the variety ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, man! We had a great time setting it up!
DeleteI have that Ms. Marvel mini-bobble- so great
ReplyDeleteA friend received it in one of the Marvel crates and gave it to me. I love Carol!
DeleteLooks great! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I wonder if my sister still has her one (we call them printer's trays)... and if so, can I get it out of her flat without her seeing me... :D
ReplyDeleteHave you tried using smoke bombs or an invisibility cloak?
