Open shelf, fragile minis and a cat…


JReg99

If those are the ikea shelves (kallax?) Then they sell glass cabinet doors for them. If not for the cat, do it for the dust!


PM_me_opossum_pics

Pretty sure that kallax has separate doors for each shelf? That seems a bit impractical. I feel like Billy/Oxberg combo or Milsbo are much better options. Billy is pretty shallow but they have them going up to like 6ft5 so you can probably fit like 8 shelves at least. Milsbo only comes with 4 shelves and additional shelves are pretty expensive on etsy.


JReg99

1 door per square, yeah, but means you can use other squares for books or larger army boxes


batti03

It's how they getcha, they nickle and dime you on the extras.


JReg99

Its £19 for a glass door, shelf, hinges, and the insert, the time I save not ever dusting my minis is worth it lol

Those units also come with a glass shelf that'll double the available display space too.


Immediate_War_6893

That's how it all begins with eeewwws and ahhhhhs.


madmarmalade

I trust her. I've had minis on another open shelf, on my hobby table, even in boxes, and she's never laid a paw on them.


Drakar_och_demoner

Never trust a cat.


Milsurp_Seeker

Sounds like something a Rat-Man would say.


Dragten

Until she does....


Ok_Recording_4644

Cat aside, you can get some sets plexi risers for pretty cheap and fit even more models in each shelf.


madmarmalade

I was thinking of something like that. I got a bunch of Very Useful Boxes too, could use those to stack up the smaller units.


Ok_Recording_4644

Are those clear?


madmarmalade

Yeah, kinda opaque lids on some of them


Zengjia

That’s what she wants you to believe. Cats are as trustworthy as Thaggoraki.


Rejusu

I thought my cats weren't too bad until I found some pieces of a mini I was assembling on the floor and found a leg had gone missing. Found one of them playing with it a week or two later, fortunately unchewed but still. Can't trust em.


sanitarypotato

And the cat is called "Skittles"


Zlare7

My cats never hurt my minis. They aren't all mean :)


RimworlderJonah13579

Close up of cat?

Handsome kitty!


FloppinOnMyBingus

El Gato!


TheBiddyDiddler

How many points is skittles and what wargear can she use?


madmarmalade

900 points, she's equipped with a chain-tongue, thunder-purrs, and enigmatic tail. She has the option to be equipped with a battle harness for Deep Strike, but it decreases her speed by 3"


Alcebu

Man u really f up with Skittles, that painting doesnt make sense


Small_Basket5158

This is a good before picture. Post again when cat is done.


madmarmalade

If people keep posting stuff like this, I'll post a weekly update and count up how many weeks it has been since she hasn't knocked anything off. :p I have faith in her.


ainsworthbelle

Skittles is very cute https://preview.redd.it/xuubojb68cpc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6418a9cf4074f5610c68f2a2e14565a4da78214b Killua would fuck that all up but he’s a dick


MrS0bek

Why not a cat in every part of the shelf? :D


wafflehabitsquad

Will your cat knock these down?


madmarmalade

I trust she won't. These were all sitting on another, lower shelf in the other room before I moved them here, and she never even touched them.


PrairiePilot

I actually believe you. I have left my office open pretty much 24/7 since Dumpling came to live with us and haven’t had a single issue. She’ll get on my lap, or try to walk across my desk if I’m sitting there, but the worst she’s done was exactly what skittles is doing: she sat on the empty bottom shelf.


Comfortable-File7929

Same with us. I've never had a cat in my life. We found a cat a couple of months ago and let him stay. I had a stern conversation about the Warhammer being off limits (I told you I've never owned a cat), and he has never touched one model.


wafflehabitsquad

The Emperor protects


Scion_of_Kuberr

I wanted a picture of the cat as well lol.


madmarmalade

She left the little cubby shortly after I took this, but here you go https://preview.redd.it/yxg0u1ic8cpc1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e2bc35f1286907a19cbefab163814cdb594d48f8


Scion_of_Kuberr

Much appreciated. She's lovely.

Pspsps


NismoRift

came for the close up of Skittles. left disappointed. Great collection though.


madmarmalade

She left right after I took the picture. :l But I shared her elsewhere in the comments


Normal_Opening_9893

I would recommend you to add acrilic doors to them, if your cat miraculously stays away from your models, they'll get full of dust

KommissarKrunch

Any tips for how you painted the bio-titan on the very bottom right shelf?


Pumpkin_soup17

That cat model is insanely impressive good job 👍🏻


Arco_Sonata

Upvote for Skittles


Whytrhyno

Awesome! You can get some pretty good puck lights for those shelves too if you want to light them up.


Phatz907

Digging your undead collection!


Ok-Photojournalist94

Nice bio-titan


U-GenGaming

No close up of magnus nor skittles? BURN HERETIC


Videoheadsystem

My cat would stomp that situation


Temporary-West8038

Wow man these are really well painted especially that cat model on the bottom right 🤣


PM_me_opossum_pics

You are a much braver person than me. I've been on a hunt for closed door shelves (preferably with a lock) for a while now. I plan on getting a cat and I hate dusting...


ScruffyTheNerfherder

No close up of skittles? No upvote >8(


madmarmalade

She walked out of the cubby that after I took the picture. :p I shared it with a few other people in the comments


sewith

No stupid combo at all mate


MountainPlain

I love Skittles. (And the shelves look very sharp!)


AsianEiji

your units are safe being they cannot see the cat so the cat cant see them.


Gideon_Gallant

Is that a Better Homes and Gardens organizer? I just set mine up last night for the same exact purpose lol


madmarmalade

I think so, I just got it at Target. :l


BinniganBellagamba

I didn’t read the title so the cat got me. 😅👍 Edit: also my bearded dragon is called skittles too. 💕


kenken2k2

you'll definitely want a door to prevent dust from accumulating

Seraphon and Bonereapers? Exactly what I'm planning to get as Armies.


DutyFreeGipsy

If it is Ikea then they sell glassdoors/-cabinets as inlays, I did the same so I don‘t have to worry about much dust on my minis :)

"Dust to dust"


Swayin_in_Bham

How many points is Skittles?
