Above you can see my faithful display case, it served me well for about 5 years. It’s from IKEA, called Bertby, no longer available unfortunately. It was meant for CDs and DVDs but since I didn’t have any superheavies or other big stuff, it was perfect for models as well, especially as it was pretty much dustproof. As you can see, it became pretty crowded in the end, which is why I decided to let it go as I’m going to move to a bigger flat next month.
This is also the reason why it might be a bit quiet from me for the next couple of weeks as there is lots of work to do. However, in my new flat there will be finally a proper man cave! It will be very small, just about 5 square metres, but with careful planning there will be enough room for display space (for both my armies and my comic books), a hobby work area and my PC. I’m going to blog about the setup and post some pictures once I’m in my new flat, I guess it might be interesting for some of you how to organize such a small space.
I've been looking for something simple to use as a display case for FOREVER. Shame those Bertbys aren't available anymore. They are PERFECTLY suited to my needs, and nothing out there now seems to come close without being outrageously expensive for what I want.
Nice, looking forward to seeing how your man cave develops. That shelf looks pretty neat actually. Given that you have a light space for it it seems to have a lot of space for miniatures.
Glad to hear you're making the step up to a bigger place! Having a cave is hugely important to get you "in the space" for any hobby. Clean, neat, organized, read to rock.
I have got a Bertby for my minis too!
Man cave…GrrrrraaRRRGHHH!
Please share photos once it is how you want to be…
…a good man cave is surely a pleasure to behold and to treasured.
🙂
You are a lucky man to have space for your own proper man cave. How I wish I had space for that.
I look forward to seeing your cave under construction posts.
looks to be a nice place that you got there.
Congrats on the new place, and the new man cave.. always a treat to show that off.. will have to do a post or 2 on mine one day.. before I love it to moving.. and probably switch to your current display cabinet also 🙂
