Niiiice!!! Equinox, that's amazing. I love your fishtank display.  i got a few pics of my set these days.  Basically the same stuff, but in a different order and with miniature figurines added.  here you go:  :)

right click + view = bigger image  (let's see if someone teaches me how to make the pics clickable for this)

Very cool display R2.  I wish I had a Maul LE :'(,  Or any LE for that matter.

I need to order the MR plaque stands for them to finish them.  I think they add a nice touch though.  Alot of people say that the mini's are to small.  I think if you are just looking at one then yes, not that impressive.  But when you view them in a complete display, it makes for a very nice setup.

Yes they are small, but so very nice detailed, i love miniatures.  did you make those tags equinox? they are realy cool, they will look great in the MR stands.

Cin Drallig:  yes man, it is a mini micro ligthsaber hilt made for a 1/6 12'' figurine which i dont have lol, you can see the size in the first pic, in the same position, by the battle droid miniature.

I take no credit for those tags.  I guy on Rebelscum made them.  Scaryguy is his name.  I did have to edit them though.  He made them for his LE hilts.  I just erased that part and centered the rest.  I printed them on high gloss printer paper.  They turned out pretty good and I dont even have a super nice printer. 

Here is the link,  He said he would send the link to anyone who was interested.  He has a cool one for a Jedi Training Remote to.

Thanks for giving me credit. The designs are freely available for anyone who wants them. Just contact me.

I had to dust off my fx-sabers account. When I got into collecting LE's I sold all my FX sabers so I don't hang around much here.

That was a great idea using those tags for the mini collection Equinox.  I'm tempted to print out some myself now.  First I'd have to get some high gloss paper.  I see that you too are collecting variants and took them in pictures of 3  ;D  That fish tank thing is a pretty cool display too.  I can't wait to see when you have the actual display all finished.

The paper I got was from Wal-Mart and it cost like $10.  That was for a big pack though.  You only need like two or three sheets.  Im going to get some of the MR Plaque stands they sell over at Rebel Scum.  They are kind of pricy though. 

I have grabbed some of the special mini's here and there.  I cant see myself getting all of them though.  Ill only nab them when its a steal.

I try do the same thing with the variant minis.  I think the most I've ever paid was about $50 for a bright chrome Yoda since I had to have it shipped from the UK.  All my gold minis I've been lucky enough to snag for under $30 with shipping.  Also a question about that high gloss paper equinox.  Do you have to buy any special kind of ink to use with the paper?

I have a HP Deskjet 6540 printer.  I think any color printer should work fine.

Definitely get the bright chrome sidious Heimdal.  I absolutely love the hilt.  For some reason I even like it more than the actual sidious hilt.  It just looks deadly yet elegant.  Even my pictures of it don't do it justice.  It seems they are qute hard to find now.  The Luke Skywalker chrome hilt also looks cool.  The Yoda one only looks like a pristine version of its counter part since its all shiny.  Still quite nice though.
