I am too!! Haha...

Thanks Tony, I appreciate the push...I had some time to putz around by setting props up for a basic idea of what is like to include and just to see how much I can cram in there.

Once I get that all sorted out, I can build around it and I CANNOT wait for that!

But here are a few tease pics of what I'm trying to include so it's not too busy... These weapons will be hanging on the walls of the trophy room and weapons room; opposite sides of the Hall

What did you use to make those weapon cases? Those look really cool :smsmile:

Thanks Olds!!!

Not sure which "display cases" you're referring to, but the silver and black ones are to hung on the walls and are action figure bases, courtesy of DC Direct.

The red, blue, green ones are merely cheap, plastic shot-glasses I found hanging in the grocery store aisles. These colored ones will be painted a basic color; depending on if they make the cut and I use them.

Hope this helps

Here's an update on the Hall...

I've built the walls (one wall is on the floor so I can get an estimate on where the trophies end and the star step begins). I still have to build the second star step where the table and chairs will sit and I've already measured out the TroubleAlert frame.
