F For Fake Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I picked these up for my comic room the other day! I really like them: (I am in no way affiliated with this company). I picked them up on E-Bay, he does many different custom frames for both raw and CGC books - E-Bay -"comicdisplays" : Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/CustomComicDisplays - Extremely nice guy. (thumbs u Cool! Dig the Sideshow Joe figures as well. I picked up a few during their Spooktacular and Black Friday sales. Storm Shadow came last week, still waiting on Major Bludd. Also picked up the Hot Toys Roadblock, as he was dirt cheap at the time. Wish they'd continued the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianR Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Not sure if this belongs in this thread or the unimpressive room thread. I am in the process of redoing it. The blinds are typically closed to black out sunlight. I will be selling off 80% of the stuff in the cabinet to get rid of the clutter as well as getting a new desk. You can see my art is starting to spread in to the hall now. I have to reframe the two plain frames while they are archival, they don't match my other frames. Still plenty of comic boxes and comics in the closet. I need to sell more as I still have too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doktor Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I need some better/newer pictures but we've kinda covered about 2/3 of the house in comic-themed decorations. But here's pretty much everything. We have 1 room that is our designated nerd room & the rest are hallways & staircase walls & whatnot. Landing & staircase outside the nerd room: Our nerd room... And the basement: And a dresser that my girlfriend wanted me to re-finish for her. She's a huge batman junkie, so she wanted a batman themed dresser. So I did this for the bedroom: I plan to re-do the room in the next few weeks. Moving furniture in the nerd room & painting as soon as the weather breaks. Because I think I need to add another filing cabinet & I'm going to be out of space if I put it next to the existing 3. So we'll be re-arraging it. It's great to have 2 roomies & a girlfriend that all love comics. There's more stuff in the living room & front entry hall that I don't have pics of yet, but it's getting there. Slowly The Nerd Room is (and maybe some of the hallways, staircases & other spaces) are getting a makeover... By this time next week, I should have a whole new layout & everything. It's going to be great. Red/Black/Light Silver color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doktor Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 So I'm about 90% done with the Nerd Room Version 2.0 now & I really like the new color scheme to it. I've still got a bunch of art to hang, put up 2 more shelves for slabs & stuff to put away, so please ignore the clutter & poor iPhone pictures. Also need to add a 4th filing cabinet for comics because all 15 drawers here are filled now. And before I hear about it... the curtains stay closed all the time & the lights are always off except for the half hour a week someone is in this room. I don't have to worry about light damage to those slabs. It's not the easiest room to photograph because everything kinda merges together. So here's a few panorama thumbnail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmtg9 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Cool room. What have you done with the front of the filling cabinets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doktor Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) I got really bored and tore off the covers of some junk comics that my roomies had already shredded the internals of for some girl project, mixed up a thinned glue mixture of my own concoction, sanded the cabinets to get some texture to them for the glue to adhere to, and wrapped the covers over the metal after dipping them in the glue mix like they were wallpaper. I'm thinking of trying something slightly different on the 4th one when I get it home and trying a spray sealant over-top of the paper though. I'll see if that works at all. But I'm also thinking about trying to redo it by getting some vinyl sheeting printed up & wrapping it like a vinyl wrapped car. I think that might be a little cooler & with a more even finish. No shrinking of the covers because of the water-based glue when it's laid down if I do it that way. Just need to find some vinyl sheet with comic covers printed (similar to the comic-themed printed fabrics) or find someone that'll print copyrighted material on vinyl for me that Kinkos would have done a decade ago but wont' now (because they're lame now) Edited March 10, 2015 by Doktor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
