I have been meaning to do a limelight for a while but never got round to it.

Well after a whole weekend of cleaning the spare bedroom out (The cleaning was a nightmare i even washed all the acrylic cases and starcases in hot soapy water for over 2 hours!) i have finally got my collection on display

So i thought i would have a go at trying to get some decent pictures and here is the result




















































































UPDATE -

Frame Before

(Picked up from a charity Shop for 1 pound!)





Frame After

(Sanded down and sprayed with Tamyia Metallic Carbon Graphite new white border made from card Glass cleaned)

Awesome collection and collection room Jay, got some fantastic figures there mate.

Looks much better with Star Wars figures in it than your old lodger LOL

Thanks for sharing mate, I bet that was a lot of fun taking the pictures!

very nice collection there Jay.very clean and well presented.you have some nice variant's too.i like your vader's.Dan

Looks like the Tri-logo collection is growing and you make a good housecleaner The Vader side focus has expanded quite rapidly as well- variants rule

Cheers Joe yep the old lodger wrecked the spare room completely so it took forever to try and clean it and sort it out!

Its not the finished article yet though i have more vintage posters that im hoping to build frames for. I used an old tatty frame form a charity shop for the starwars forever poster! I sanded it down and spray painted it with a tamyia metallic graphite carbon the effect doesn't really show in the pictures above so ill try and upload some before and after pictures of the frame later today

Aye i pick the odd Tri Logo up now and again but at the moment im trying to add more clear bubble foreign MOC's i have a ESB Canadian MOC and a Dutch Clipper MOC on the way:)

Cleaning the Oscarcases and starcases was a nightmare but worth it i think its amazing how much dust they pick up in storage now you can actually see into them lol

The Vaders are coming along i have some more coming in the post but its getting harder to find the ones i need now lol I may have to move on to the next figure soon over the next year as i have decided to collect loose variants of all my favorite figures

A very minty collection there, mate! And nicely displayed too. Looking forward to seeing more updates soon.

Nice Jay, i'm pretty sure i haven't seen that much of your collection before.

Nice!!!

Love the ROTJ MOC!!!

I don't remember Kenner coming out with Chewbacca Fur Pillows??? Those must have came out after the release of the Bandolier Strap!!!!

I'm with Tim. This might be my first as well. Nice stuff dude! Man I wish I had a room to display. Well my bank account is probably the better off for it...........

Jay mate!

The Starwars room looks excellent mate... the cards look lovely and That Darth focus is coming on Lovely!!!!

Well worth me logging into this lunchtime!

Wow Jay!

Very nice collection you've got there! I think this may be my first time seeing it as well!

Those Palitoy's are SWEET! I didn't know you could get them unpunched! Very nice room with a great set up! Your Vaders are coming along nicely!

Looks like you'll have to keep this updated now!

The collection looks great Jay. I think I said it before on SWF, but I really like the run of Lukes on the different logos.

The Vader focus also looks great.

well smart mate, im waiting on the same poster you got, silver one unframed coming this week,
some of the pictures you took really show up the slight differences in the same character, even skin tone in one of the dengars

Andy

Nice collection Jay!

Nothing like having a Star Wars room to escape to after a shitty day. Mine is the only stress free zone in the house.

Awesome Jay, great to see your collection so nicely displayed.

I remember the last photos you showed of that room when you had a friend/lodger staying!!!

Lovin the Tri MOC's they look awesome and its great to see the start of that Vader fetish.

Nice one mate

btw jay , didnt you tell me you only had a tri logo bikerscout

tell me what card back is on that pupy , so i can start bothering you untill you sell it to me ,

Awesome collection & nicely displayed Jay,that's the first time i've seen your collection properly!

Its so much better when you finally have the space to display your collection instead of having it stashed away in boxes,cupboards etc!

Thanks for the comments guys

As you can see i have a clear bubble fetish with my MOC's lol

I have a few things tucked in the draws and cupboard as well but i can only dispaly so much.

I also have a few posters i still need to make frames for and add to walls.

Andy - the Starwars is forever poster is awesome some of the figures on it are first shots and prototypes! The hard part is trying to find a frame as its 18 inches x 22 inches.

Cheers Jay

Nice collection Jay. I'm starting to miss that Biker Scout now, but I know he's in a good home.

Superb collection Jay! Wow! Great photos, I love the ROTJ Trivia Game poster (the signed D Prowse one's pretty cool too!). Also like the random non SW items dotted about like the Imprezza WRC and the GTA game If I only had a small fraction of your collection I'd be completely delighted. V v v cool stuff m8!

cheers from Paul FW

Hey Dan, the forever poster is that he has framed in his pictures. It is double sided and he has the side with the figures displayed. I've thought of picking up another one at some point, so I could have both sides displayed. You can see what the other side looks like here.

The poster is an odd size to find frames for. I found one that was the correct width but the wrong length. I really like how Jay has his and need to do something similar.

ya that's what i was looking for the front side of the poster.i looked at jay's pic's, ya i see it but it has the backside showing and it's way off to the left corner.,it's what threw me off.jay take another pic of the poster with the front side showing that way i can luv it more.put a big pic up too.Dan.
