But what superb customs there are in that constricted space!

If there is one thing I would like to see, it is a large, detailed photo of cheng's shelves. To see all that glory in one panorama.

It looks great, I like how you posed them as if they are talking with each other.

And three soldiers seem quite interested in that near naked drummer.  ;)

Stunning.

What's up with the shakoes on the bluecoats? I haven't seen the symbol that's on them before. Custom or a rare set?

What can I say, you have a true talent for customising figures and such attention to detail. I think most of us could do with shelves like those perfect way to showcase your brilliant unique custom works, figures and dioramas brilliant and beautiful loving the foreign soldiers as well as the Aisians  :)
Title: Re: my new but reduced shelves
Post by: cheng on June 29, 2015, 02:33:03
thank you playmofriends!
and you asked, Tahra,
I dont have uniform transparent boxes like yours, just all kinds of boxes over the years in some of these cupboards.
at they look neater now when the doors are closed

It's stunning!! Thank you so much for all the detailed pictures.
Your storage boxes look like a customizer's dream :)

I must have missed your customized safari/colonial clickies before (or maybe I just forgot), but I really like them too.

I really like those flatish boxes on the top in the last pic..
Title: Re: my new but reduced shelves
Post by: cheng on June 29, 2015, 13:49:56
Those flat document holders are perfect for klikies lying on their sides....can hold maybe 50 each....quite easy to find on book stores but not the really transparent ones....at least that's rare here

wow! Malone, my master of casting....have you been here often? Do post some more your work here....I must confess to not looking into other forums...still not enough hours in a day.
and share your views and opinions on these new parts and sometimes new directions of the new Geobra development team....I prefer them to be doing anything now than those previous years of dull, no-new-parts-to-chase years....people like me dont have casting skills like you :)

Hey Cheng my friend!
In my book, we'll be meeting in 11 days now. I can't wait!
Don't forget to bring your avatar to Paris!
My house is a mess but you're very welcome to visit my playmo desk!
Title: Re: my new but reduced shelves
Post by: cheng on July 14, 2015, 07:37:44
I didn't think of bringing my avatar...maybe I need it to identify myself to you, Arnaud!
Already in London and I managed to find two red Kepis in Bicester....I guess there were no adult collectors living nearby.

And Tahra, would u believe I walked past Hamleys without going in?? And u were right...they are in john Lewis but I wasn't able to find any red Kepis....I guess someone beat me to it.

Hello cheng,

We had two long days in succession on Sunday (a six hour drive home) and Monday (up at about 05:45) and then I fell asleep Monday night after dinner and forgot to call you.  I tried twice this evening on the London number, but no answer.  Sorry about all this!  It's old age!  PM me your mobile number and I'll call you tomorrow, Wednesday.

Gordon

Not sure if a figure at Harrods can be considered a good deal though...
