I have a very similar setup, placing 5 Detolfs on 2 Bestas. I reinforced my Bestas using 2X2 studs and used bolts to basically make one long Besta and keep them from shifting. I decided to construct supporting frames on the inside of the Bestas for peace of mind because I've seen pictures of Detolf bowing downward in the middle and even collapsing from the weight of Detolfs on top. The only negative thing is that I had to use solid doors to keep the support framing hidden inside the Bestas. I really like the windowed doors you used on your Bestas. The use of that space to display more collectibles looks Amazing! I really hope you don't experience any issues with too much weight on your Besta, your entire setup looks Great! Awesome HotToys Collection!!

@kilaninani 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Alex! Do you mind explaining to me how you made the extra support inside the besta? I also want to do this

@alexavierD 3 жыл бұрын

@@kilaninani Sure, I used 2X2 and L Brackets to make the support structure. In each cabinet I placed a 2X2 in each corner attached to upper support beams in front and back. I also placed support beams in the center. So each cabinet has a total of 6 support beams. 3 in back and three in front. On top of the beams goes the upper beams that run the length of each cabinet and everything is attached with L brackets to the inside of the cabinet and all the support beams as well. The supplies are pretty inexpensive is it’s pretty easy to do, it’s just a bit tedious because it’s time consuming. I have 5 Detolfs on top of two Besta cabinets, each Detolf has a heavy 1/4 polystone statue on the bottom. It’s been at least 3 years and I haven’t had any warping whatsoever. You’ll loose a bit of storage room but for peace of mind I don’t mind it at all. Sorry for the long winded response, you can look up a video on KZfaq from a guy that collects HotToys. He did a very similar thing and explains everything very well step by step. I wish I could give you a link but I saw the video a couple years ago and can’t remember the channel. I’m sure you’ll find it oh you look around for it. Hope this helped 👍

Nice touch, I have seen people stick the LED directly onto the glass surface or use some kind of angle panel/channel to hide the LED. This is the first i ahve seen using the thin metal rod to stick the LED, I think this is the simplest way and I might do that on mine.

Or which white option would match best with the detolfs?

@memorabiliaexpert Жыл бұрын

"concrete floor" the fact that your floor is concrete does not really play any part in the risk of the unit tipping over, it's more so if you have a kid and they open the door(s) and pull it down on themselves. Plus, the weight of the contents also plays a part in increasing the risk of the unit tipping over. Some kids have died from ikea cabinets/drawers toppling over on them because they were not secured to the wall. This is more a note for those with kids. I don't have kids myself so don't bother attaching the units to the wall. Your figures look amazing on display. I got a ikea display cabinet recently and now I realise how important the lighting is, the cabinet looks sad and dark with not led lighting. Thanks for the informative video.

This is a pretty cool setup! Have a question about lighting. The LED strip on your link is not available anymore, but there's an equivalent one, also 16.4 ft. long. How many sets did you use for the whole setup? My guess is one for each Detolf and one extra for the Besta?
