Jimbob Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 It's taken a bit of work, but I'm proud to present my latest project: JJ's LEGO City. The sets have been accumulated over the past few of years, but the display was built over the last month for just £80, plus another £80 for the table it stands on (which has 8/16 shelves inside). I'm pretty pleased with that considering that display cases of this size cost far more than that to purchase from retailers. For those interested, it was built with the outsides of an IKEA KALLAX unit and three separate sheets of polycarbonate, a very clear material that is far stronger than glass. The front sheet has been removed, but is easily held in place with four small brackets attached to the KALLAX frame with small VELCRO stick-on coins. The whole thing stands on four more KALLAX units which I was going to get drawer and door inserts for, but they failed so miserably when trying to assemble them that I've returned them all in disgust (and I'm usually quite the IKEA customer). Without further ado, here are the rest of the photos of this display. For 6000x4000px versions of these images, see the links at the end of this post.

aidenpons Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I should point out that there are nine 6000x4000px images linked here, which is around 130MB of data, so if you pay for your internet you may wish to avoid them. Care to resize them a little? It's not the fact that they're big, it's the fact that THEY'RE TAKING AGES. Ten minutes later and three of them have loaded. EDIT: What? Why's it giving errors? "The image blahblahblah cannot be displayed because it contains errors." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Certainly, I've embedded 1920x1280px versions (they're about 500KB each), and kept the 6000x4000px versions linked at the end. I'm not sure why you're getting that error though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidenpons Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I'm not sure why you're getting that error though? I'm not now, if that explains anything. *shrug* Dunno why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le717 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 This looks awesome. I think its time to play some iSpy around the city. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 This looks awesome. I think its time to play some iSpy around the city. That's actually a pretty cool idea, when I was little I had a whole collection of I Spy books! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le717 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Alternatively, we could play Where's Waldo Wally Cyrem Johnny Thunder That Minifig? :P aidenpons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Okay, I spy (in order of difficulty): Johnny Thunder Jango Fett My mistake, it's a Mandalorian Han Solo (exclusive medal version) I will be amazed if anyone spots Han Solo.

Ben24x7 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Johnny Thunder is in the right half of the 9th picture in the spoilers... Jango Fett is (I think) in the 4th picture in the spoilers. He is seated in the Hair dressers... ...I would look for Han Solo, medal edition, but my iPad gets murdered as soon as I open one high resolution image, but could I at least get something of sorts for at least finding as much as I could find on an iPad and with non-Ultra high resolution images?

Sorry, I just realised I hadn't replied to you yet! You got Johnny Thunder right, but Jango Fett isn't in the barbers. He's a bit more visible than that. Yeah, I don't blame you for not looking for Han. Ben24x7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRChief Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Is Jango Fett the person in the 2nd picture holding the saw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Is Jango Fett the person in the 2nd picture holding the saw? Nope, he's this figure. Sorry, I mistook him for Jango, it's actually a Mandalorian. Also, Han Solo is in this costume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I know where Jango is, but I really have no idea where Han shall be. Jango Fett is in the "Auto Transporter" picture, behind the motorcycle cop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
