Minifigure Display MOC

[Grolim]

After setting up my Kwik-E-Mart and Simpsons house for display I decided I wanted to do something to display the 2 series of Simpsons CMF alongside them.  

This kind of design could be used for any set of CMF really as the 16 figs display on each section in front of the poly bag. 

Here's some shots:

The 2 sections are hinged together and can be separated to display on different angles like this:

 

Each figure sits on a 1x2 plate, so they stay put nicely.  Nothing too difficult in the build, I stuffed around with different ways for attaching the CMF bag backgrounds and in the end decided to simply have the 4 edges jammed between 1 stud depth bricks.  It's pretty tight so holds them nicely without glue or tape.

A fun little project.  Took a lot more bricks than I thought and I pretty much ran out and had to scrape by with smaller bricks for the last bits of the wall.

Very nice! It's so simple but helps displaying the minifigs so much!

Nicely done.

Awesome job with this - a great way to display the series.  Will you be publishing instructions?

Also, did you try "stairing" the display rows to give a little more visibility for back row figs?

Now to figure out how to cut the bags on the back only, so you don't see the cut line one the front.

Great job.  Shows off the minifigs/characters nicely without clutter.

​Cheers Quacs.

Haven't really got a list of instructions, but if someone was really keen to copy it then happy to share detailed steps and piece counts, just send me a PM.

I did consider "stairing" the rows.  I have another large display that is like a grandstand setup.  But this display is sitting on a low shelf so as you come up to see it you look down on it.  Also I didn't want to obstruct the view of the bag behind, so that would have meant a higher structure resulting in more bricks and it wouldn't fit into the spot i have for it.

Yeah I wish I had a bag I had cut down the back!  Wast going to buy a new one just for this so found the best ones I had and taped them shut along the cut line and you can still see it a bit.

I did not even wait for the page to fully load before clicking the Like button because I already knew this was going to be good. Now that it has, turns out I was right.

for anyone interested After getting Grolims ok I recreated groim's display on LDD.  It's pending approval now so hopefully by tomorrow it will be exceable to all. The files name is "G style display" with "minifigure" as a filter. thanks again Grolim

[Guest brickcrazyhouse]

ok that was quick it's up.  but the filter is either "lego" or "mini"
