Im still working on this and was gonna post a bunch of pics as soon as i finished, still working on the top floor and always looking for more props.  But i wanted to share now since this is the perfect topic.

So my wife got me this doll house for Valentines day at a Thrift store. We spray painted it black and turned it into my M.C.W Muscle Championship Wrestling Stadium

The way you've "wallpapered" each level, is very similar to what I'm thinking of doing in my TBB shelf. Did you just find or make these textures yourself and print them? Or is there a company that sells cardstock printed with these themes? I especially looking at the bricks/alleyway radiation zone backdrop.

I found some images online and then resized and photo shopped them to fit, check out extreme sets, they make playsets for action figures, you will see where i got allot of inspiration

You did a really good job. They look just as good as what Extreme Sets does. I've been searching through their stuff, but the scale seems waaay too big for minis.

yeah thats why i had to do some photo shop work and resizing to make it look kinda close to muscle scale,   Muscle men are so weirdly proportioned its so hard to find a scale to go with 1:14 or 1:18

Hey One TallPonderosa!
This is a fantastic thread! Everyone has made some impressive dioramas to display all that is M.U.S.C.L.E.! That being said here are my two cents...If you are wanting to go for more of a “display” route for your whole collection why not invest in end result you are trying to create? What I’m about to suggest costs around $230 USD and involves a bit of DIY.
Years ago I wanted to build a display for a multitude of collectibles, including joes, muscle, lego minifigs, and other trinkets. At the time I had a big roll-top secretary desk near the corner of the room with lots of space on top. I found a chinese company willing to supply UV protective showcase-grade acrylic pieces to my exact specifications. Everything assembled with industrial clear adhesives and included three tired risers with a flat panel display on the front and worked back at the wall snugly wedging into the corner forming a triangle. There was a locking door that opened in the back and LED lighting recessed and aesthetically hidden illuminating the inside of the case. I also had fabricated dozens of small anklet anchors that worked like a removable adhesive peg sticking to the surface of the acrylic and angled upwards towards the back of each figure. At the top of these clear pegs was a flexible, yet sturdy rubber band like material shaped like a c-clamp that would pry apart to wrap round the ankle or foot of each figure ensuring they would always remain upright even if the case was jostled. These c-clamps worked like elastic, so they were easy to on and off, but completely transparent as to blend in with the casing. It was pretty large and beautiful when lit up! Somewhere i know i have some pictures as well as the plans i used for construction, so if you or anyone else is interested i can dig them up.
Sadly, as it was a large piece when we moved I had to pass it along to another whom would appreciate its use. Been about 8 years now and i just haven’t had the motivation to pour heart and sweat into another project after losing my baby. But hey, I figure if anyone appreciates a sexy story full of so much display case it’d be you guys! Hope this sparked your interest, cheers!

What ring is that? I'm having a hard time finding a ring that I like, but that one looks great.

Nothing really too out of the ordinary, but here's what I have. These two pics are of the display I built for my flesh set:

A complete I-don't-care-what-color set:

Thank you

I like the flesh set display. 1. How did you get the figures to stand upright?

2. What are the dimensions and wood type used?

Nice!

I use that blue Fun Tack stuff on their feet. The Sunshine top and pyramid have custom stands made and sold by a member of this board years ago.

 

The overall dimensions are 43"H x 33" W. The slats are made out of reclaimed wood from a local barn. I don't remember what species it is. The outside pieces are just standard pine from Home Depot or somewhere like that. The back is Masonite.

 

 

Love the display case, BadLarry. Did you make that yourself?

Yes, I did make it myself. It was a huge PITA cutting all the slats and trying to get them to line up properly.

 

 

Thank you

Using Zippo’s displays work great!
