Miniature Display/Storage

JediSoth · Jun 21, 2011

As I start preparing my new gaming area, it occurred to me I need a way to display my metric poop-ton of miniatures in such a way that it won't slow down the game if I need to grab one on the fly, but will also look awesome.

Previously, I was using something like this:

Now that I have a chance to have a less dank and dungeony type game room, it strikes me that these are utilitarian and not very impressive. I want to show off, man!

What do you all use to display/store your minis?

I use bookshelves - the first one below is one I got at Ikea several years back - perfect for a basement, it has 3 long flat shelves. The other two bookcases are used/display ones I had acquired over the years. One from Staples and the other from Sauder/Go Furniture.

I use shelves made to display shot glasses. I only have two now, and use them to show off my best painted miniatures. Granted, you can't get your large mini's or mini's with wings set in them, but they display 90% of the mini's I own in them very well.
