Sean's collection displays updated!

So over the last little while, I have sold off a sizable part of my collection...but it still takes up lots of space. The good news is that everything fits nicely for now, and I finally reorganized the cabinets.

While I will eventually get close up photos here, I thought I'd share the photos of the cabinets overall for now...!

And I'm working from one corner clockwise. 3 of the 4 walls have something one them; one wall has a desk/photo centre and storage closet and is no fun at all!

East wall:

South wall:

West wall:

And in case people are wondering...there is not a real rhyme or reason to the organization. Some are shelves based on company, others on taxonomic themes, others are kind of random...

And already, we are planning to move the whole thing into a different room that sees more human activity so that the collection is more visible...so at some point I'll do this all over again! But until then, I will continue to add the photos of close ups of the shelves. Hopefully the move won't be for a while!

Wonderful and beautyful

Gosh ! Moving it all again
I can see that many models are quite fragile, so you will have to move each one very carefully
Well. A good way to get the dust off

Fortunately, it will just be a move within the house. It will involve moving all of the cabinets and such, so that will be a challenge!

Thanks!

Wow! You have such an amazing array of ocean and prehistoric life. I especially love the giant white sturgeon on your top shelf. I also like how you arranged them as well since everything seems to go together. This is a fantastic display!

Marvellous collection.

I see rare dinosaur models, and rare fishes too.

Big congratulations.

I have just been looking again !!! WOW ! I could look for hours !!!
And everything looks so pefect together. For instance, - look at the shelf with the large sauropods : Safari, Invicta etc . It is really like a piece or art

Thanks all!

So, first cabinet. Entirely Dinotales...except for some of the Dino Expos I think? And there are a few of the later Kaiyodo prehistoric capsule figures in here too...sometimes I just have to make them fit!

So that's today's shelves! I'll try to post a new cabinet (or part thereof) each day. Easier than trying to do all of it at once! Also...kind of cheating, but I'm just posting the same thing each time on the DTF, ATF and STS...just easier!

Pure eye-candy

I did not know there are so many dinotale models !
Actually, I did not realize that we know of that many different prehistoric critters

Great that you show us your moldels little by little, I would be too much to see them all in one go

That would be very interesting!

Ooooooooooooh, all these figurines The overall photos of your displays just makes me drool xD So many great figurines, but really nice organized as well. My cabinets are a lot messier I'm really looking forward to see all the close-ups! But take your time, I can imagine it's going to take some time, taking/uploading all these pictures!

Fortunately, I've already taken the photos...it's more just the time to actually get them loaded up!

Also...funny fact...the shelves with the majority of my fish models are going to end up at the end of the postings! It makes sense in the room...

Thanks again everyone...

And with further ado, another day, another cabinet! Mostly Kaiyodo Animaltales, ChocoQ figures, Capsules/Bottlecaps, plus some other Japanese sets and miscellaneous figures (mostly Yujin, Bandai that sort of thing)

I sometimes feel like I should reorganize these somehow...but it's just kind of daunting! And, of course as always, this will be cross-posted through the DTF, ATF and STS!

All these wonderful Kaiyodos!!! I am happy that i have that too :)

Is it a little shrimp in the last pic in front of the lionfish on the right side?

Congrats on this lovely, amazing, and beautiful collection!!
see forward to see the rest! <3 I also love how you display them, on those plexiglass (...?) tables/little stairs. it really brings out most of your collection that way!

It's a Yujin Mantis shrimp! I'm not huge into inverts...but mantis shrimp are worth the exception! I have the Yowies one too...

Thanks! I use a variety of different acrylics/plexi things to acts as risers. Most of them are squared boxes that I think are meant for storage, but the flat, squared shape makes it easier to stack and put things on them. Some of the others aren't squared so it's tougher to stack them up.

In the larger shelves I have some proper three-tier risers and acrylic u-stands, but those are harder to track down.

Thanks, a nice model :)

Very great collection. I like your fish models and of course the Basilosaurus:)

Thanks! There are at least 3 Basilosaurus among the shelves...but two are pretty small!

I can look at this for hours!
So many beautiful models, 99% are ones that I can not even pronounce the name of
Love the fibe, how organized it is, the colors, the small and big models, amazing!!

Gorgeous !!!

I second Karin : I can also look for hours

Please may we see the human models also ?

I didn't take those photos...until now!

Here are the two tops from the first two cabinets:

New day, new cabinet closeups! This one is a lot more random--some 'mystery' series figures, some assortments from a variety of companies, and a bunch of Shapeways figures...and the majority of my FaunaCasts models...plus some other customs and special figures!

And in the last photo, a close up of the ephemera on the book shelf below...including my various plants that I am otherwise unsure of where they can go!

(It should be noted that some cabinets have more shelves than others...just how they spaced out. Plus these ones have an extra, short cabinet on top that is separate)

Interesting again!! What is the small red figurine in pic 3?
