Rad Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Jeff, ImageShack is also a good host site. They'll give you code for just about every permutation of an image you could want. Avatar's, thumbnails, messageboard formats. It's all there. Even a total incompetent like me can successfully post images from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Well, it's about time I posted in here. I originally set this up for the photo contest and I've just been adding all the new releases to it. (Click to enlarge.) My favorite so far. No pics of the LOTR side yet. I've got to clean the place up to fit my tripod over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Superb set-up Ivan. They look like they're mobilised and ready to launch their bid to take over the world. How do you avoid the domino effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 It makes me think of the Crisis on Infinite Earths TPB cover. What could be so amazing that all of these disparate characters (cylons, joker, Chun Li, etc.) would stand together and just look at it?

Ivan Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 How do you avoid the domino effect? It's a little complicated. To keep them from toppling over I stick each one on my Van de Graaff generator to give them each a huge positive charge. Since like charges repel, they all force each other to stay standing. I guess it can be best explained with an example. Say you have three Minimates in a row, for simplicity we will call them A, B, and C going from left to right. Perhaps B is a little unstable and starts leaning towards A. The positive charge on A then pushes against the positive charge on B and B starts to lean towards C. Of course C pushes back and it bounces back and forth until they reach a state of equilibrium. A positively charged "fence" around the perimeter prevents anyone from flying off the edge. I have to be extra careful when working with them though. I have to be insulated from ground (0V) so that I don't bleed off the charge by touching them. You know that little static shock you get every once in a while when you touch something metal. Imagine that multiplied by 467. That's the danger I face here people. Definitely not for the faint of heart. It's logically to extend the one-dimensional example above to a two-dimensional one so the Minimates don't fall forward or backward. But what's really cool, is that you can also extend it in three dimensions. In some areas the gravitational force is a smidge weaker and If I balance it just right I can actually get a Minimate to levitate above the others. It's tricky and it seems there are only few 'mates that can do it, but it's really cool when it works. Once I had Storm floating above the X-Men and I couldn't wipe the grin off my face. A couple days ago, I was experimenting with Sulu and something really weird happened. There must have been some weird electrical harmonic effect or ionization disturbance because all of a sudden he just shot up into the air. One minute he was happy as can be, hovering over the group of Aragorns, the next he was Junior Birdman! I still haven't pulled him out of the ceiling. Now for the real answer, it's Lego plates basically. Everyone with C3 feet went on a 16x16 base plate in front of the 3 Inchers. Then the rest went in front of the plates. Since it would be too much of a pain to add more plates, newer releases end up in front even if they have C3 feet. My carelessness did cause a few topplings, but the damage was mitigated because the Minimates on plates weren't going anywhere. The most frustrating was when I took out about 15 with my camera strap.

omendreamer Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 All the different interpretations of the collection are very interesting. Maybe those of us who think it is an invasion are just suspicious bastards? 'Cause I'll include myself in that category. P.S. She-Thing your tagline banner totally made me smile.

TBT! Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 Ok so I've been exploring cheap and temporary storage methods for some of my mini's... Mostly because I had a LOT of loose mates floating around my desk & workspace and wanted to move some of the newer waves to my display cases and find a semi decent place for those that were being evicted as an archive of sorts. On a whim I ordered the following... a Hotwheels "over the door" display case... It actually works very well for 2" mates, the 2.5" LotR mates needed a little finese to get them into their pockets but they definitely fit. Sure it's not that pretty and will be living inside my cupboard but If anyone is looking for a dirt cheap display option ($15 +shipping) or simply like me a nice way to 'store' older mates and has the back of a door free then this isn't a bad option.

T. Cool! I had actually looked at the possibilty of using those in my reworking of my collection, its good to know that they would work if I decide to go that way in the future....great pics, Thanks for reminding me I still have to find one of each of those 03 blanks Jeff of the Miniacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T. T and other Minimate Dudnesses, I scooped that same HW display on a clearance rack from Wal Mart for .50cents. I only found 1, but it does work well. This was around Xmas time.
