    Detolf fix accomplished

    So last weekend I was homebound and feeling handy, so I attempted the Detolf fix Scott posted in the last podcast.

    Spent about $15 a shelf, only because i used EXTRA thick plexi, it cut like butter on the table saw. I'm normally not that good with stuff like this but wow, it works and how:



    If I can do it, so can you.

    Wow!!! Looks amazing!

    You have the GAH figures? Back in the 1980s you couldn't give them away. Today they are priceless.
    If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

        Not that I know of, it made a mess but we were fairly quick about the cuts.

          I've been thinking about giving it a go, but first I have to do some serious rearanging. Your display looks great.

              Ha! It's thrown together for demonstration purposes, I have no clue how to exploit it.

                Hey that's nice work! As another with very limited handy-man abilities I salute you sir

                Glad to hear that the display is temporary, I'm worried for your MOC Super Magnetics standing vertical like that for too long. You can almost see them pulling their blisters away from the cards as you watch
