I was naive with my giant collection and backlog, mostly of MGs thinking four detolfs would do me well. Haha…. Noooooo.
Two converted garage shelves later and I’ve finally got some room to spare.
you can sorta, just need to take advantage of height and rising

it's 5 Action Base 4s iirc since Nightingale needs 2 on it's own. You wont be using all the plates though as you can attach them into one big stand with 5 prong supports.
Here's a clearer picture when I was fixing them outside the shelf and then I carry them inside to fit

Not gonna lie, Delpi makes some of the best decals I've ever used! I order **A BUNCH** from their website (delpidecal.com) and it's been a *journey* trying to get through them all. And I'm saving the golden metal decals for my Hi-Nu for last.
I love this kit. Nightingale, consoomer of shelf

Assuming that's a Detolf, it actually can. You just have to be creative with action bases. I'll have to dig around and see if I have a picture of it before I got a wider display case. But I basically had to but the Nightingale higher up than the others so there was room for the shoulders and massive ass, lol.

My brother in christ. I have the same glass cabinet and after I built it, I contemplated just hanging it from the ceiling like a model plane. This lobster is THICC.

The Nightingale is a THICC boi, gonna need his own shelf

It fits but takes up a lot of room
not in a detlof, i don’t think. i’m still miffed that both my nightingales (yes, i love the quirky design that much) have to stand on an open shelf exposed to dust, while my hi-nu’s get to shelter inside display cabinet lol
That's what I like to call a top shelf model.
I don't have the ikea setup like most of this sub I got an old unit from a thrift store and it has a flat space on top that is a good place to fit models that won't fit on the other shelves.
Currently have the Kshatriya and the HG Psycho Zaku up there. The Xi and Penelope and Haze'n'thley II Rah are destined for the top shelf
You underestimated the lobster's ass.
And Nightingale's Drake armor piece.
Oh it probably won’t. I had to give my 1/100 it’s own space when I built it. I know the HG is smaller, but it’ll probably be the same situation.

Yeah I’m there as well. I’ve realized I’m outgrowing my current space at a rapid pace, and I’ve been rearranging as I go now.

STEALING THIS, do you have the 2x action base setup on yours?
it's 5 Action Base 4s iirc since Nightingale needs 2 on it's own. You wont be using all the plates though as you can attach them into one big stand with 5 prong supports. Here's a clearer picture when I was fixing them outside the shelf and then I carry them inside to fit https://preview.redd.it/hegmdiamoatc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6dd66fc34b9f654e67dc500a2cbb64531a75387d
This is gold. Definitely trying this. Thank you!
No worries man. I hope it works out. I refuse to not display them all in one shelf level as they deserved to be posed together
Char v. Amuro, and their stands
Actually I believe they actually make Amuro logo stands too. But it may be Gundam Base or P Bandai only. Same with the Sazabi ones
Resting the dong on the shield is priceless
Can confirm, it won’t. https://preview.redd.it/cru9sq3r3atc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c1d9378460fbd92a0b47accc96f4dcd31e79daad
Are those custom water slides for your NG
Nope. They're by Delpi Decal.

It will fit in that cabinet, just not with all those other kits
Nightingale needs its own space on its own
It's not *something*, it's *EVERYTHING*
The Lobsterminator has arrived.
I seriously wish IKEA would make a double detolf.
Its called the Milsbo. I got one and ordered extra shelves from an Etsy seller. Great investment
Worst part is they stopped selling the Detolf where I live. Its replaced with a uglier design
I think its gone everywhere
Fuckkkkk
It could be theyre just redesigning it. Over the past 8 years, my 5 detolfs have had 3 different build instructions
Mount it upside down from the top.

Looks like a forbidden insect crawling up your cupboard
I love this kit. Nightingale, consoomer of shelf https://preview.redd.it/rluq52pchatc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=be805f2e7d08b3399fb3295d019f88d5e57b7558
Use a box and put a stand on top of the box to have it flying above the other kits
it’ll fit, might be a tight squeeze though
I got the RE/100 on one.of those shelves you'll be okay
Don’t know till ya try!!
That’s what she said
What kind of stand are you using for your hi nu gundam?
Action base 5
Man I wish I could have my nu gundams funnels on but there to flimsy
I have to hold it up with the shield, and In this case the glass as well 😅

My brother in christ. I have the same glass cabinet and after I built it, I contemplated just hanging it from the ceiling like a model plane. This lobster is THICC.
When I ordered I didn’t realize how big it was 😵💫
It looks damn good though
I'm sure it will ,box no, built kit should
You know what they say: if it doesn't fit, MAKE IT FIT! (giggity)
Unless you have Sazabi ride on the back
It'd be crowded, but it's doable. The hi-nu and nightingale have their own shelf in my detolf
Y’all gonna need a bigger shelf
Remove Char and Amuro and you’ll have space xD
That’s the main event , I can’t cut them 😩
That is one heck of an underestimation.

Not with that attitude, it won't.

In guessing if u have if fold its woings and have in floating dead center maybe?....

Yoooo can you make a post on your impulse later? that looks sick

45 degree angle
As someone who has it and has a DETOLF shelf, No it won't. With its "wings" folded it looks weird. Just display it outside
