Gundam & Figure Display

During the time our house was being remodeled, I decided to turn one of the rooms into a library/office. I had shelves and built-in cabinets installed for books and lights for the top shelves where I can display my gundams. However as you can see on the images below, my books have been completely overrun by figures and gundams.
cabinet 1
Cabinet
the shelves on these cabinets were originally wood panel shelves, however I had them changed to glass to let light flow all the way down to the display at the bottom. :p

shelf 1
shelf 2
my Shelves, although I’m not quite that happy about the aesthetic quality of thise ugly looking metal braces that holding them up, but I guess as long as get the job done. ^^

cabinet 1-1
cabinet 1-2
cabinet 1-3
the first cabinet doesn’t have lights on them since it was originally meant to have books in them. instead I have all these dust gatherers. lol ^^

Cabinet 2-1
Cabinet 2-2
the 2nd display cabinet, not quite full yet, I guess that means I can still get me some figures. ^^ but then again, I still have a lot of unopened gundam kits I haven’t had time to build. :p

cabinet 3-1
cabinet 3-2
cabinet 3-3
my other cabinet. If you’re wondering about the white cloth behind and below the figures, those are used bounce fabric softener dryer sheets. just a bit of Martha Stewart for figure collecting otaku’s out there. Some of the figures I get smells like something between burnt rubber and a skunk’s hinie. so I keep the bounce sheets there to kill the smell. and yes, it works for smelly feet sneakers too. ^^ another strange thing about these fabric sheets is that ants seem to steer away from them. don’t try wrapping your lunch in them though, not unless you love the smell of soap on your mouth. ^^
