Awesome work Matt. Have you considered printing some HI-RES images and using them as backgrounds for your Dioramas?

Here are some that I've Googled.

Thanks Freddy.

Yes, as things progress we will be getting posters/backdrops etc up, and have a lot of carded figures to go on the vertical spaces too.

We've been able to get back to doing a little more work in this spare room since Armageddon.

Have finished the dedicated comic and magazine shelves (although not everything has been sorted in to position), started getting a few carded figures on the walls, and have been progressively packing the figures in more densely, as there are still hundreds to get out of storage boxes.

Kristy finished up the first of the curtains today, for the single, small window in the room. Matching curtains will go in front of the two under-table storage areas at each end of the room too. :)

It's definitely a long-term project, but here's a bit of a progress photo. We've got all the shelving in place, and Kristy finished up the curtain to cover the storage area on one end on the room.
