LintHart's "Study" ;-) - No 56k or mobiles, you've been warned.

[Linthart]

Hi Guys,

I'd like to share with you a very special place indeed; my private living room or 'study'.

After wanting to post pictures for so so long, the renovations are complete on my new place and furniture is finally in its place. As i work and study a lot from home, i'm literally surrounded by toys all the time. Just how i like it :p

I was born in '86 and had a massive G1 collection at a very early age which sadly was all sold at a garage sale in my early teenage years. I've only managed to retrieve my original G1 blades and Hotspot from the dark depths of the parents storage. Better than nothing though.

My parents feel that my current ventures is me getting my revenge for them selling it all.

In addition to being a massively over obsessed TF nut, i also idolise many old movie series like Predator, Alien, Terminator, Batman and more recently, Iron Man

My Collection is split into 2 main areas. The study and my Ark-chive (get it, Ark? love the cheesyness)
The study is self explanatory and archive is a cupboard under the stairs which happens to be linked to my bedroom. I keep the majority of my MISB, MOSC stuff in there like my animated, movie and other toys.

Now onto the fun stuff.
For fear of UV associated yellowing of my Maximi, the windows and the lights have been lined with 3mm UV treated perspex to try and slow things down a little. Essentially the same stuff used for the premium grading boxes. I'll report back in a couple of years on where i think it's work or not.
For the moment, i'll take the placebo.

I'll sort this out a little better soon when i have more time.

A once around the room

Awesome collection! Plus you have the sweet Hot Toys preds and Wolf mask!

[blaster]

Guilty :p

[Zippo]

Nice display, though why is a certin transformer got a funky paint swirl in each picture.

So nice and clean.. Hope it stays that way.,

[bruticus]

Nice collection dude....The toys are all uncluttered and well displayed (*curses*.... now i have to clean up my place....)

Love the lithos too!!!

it is a bit sucky that you have to ruin the lovely photos with the random swirls though....

Btw, how did you manage to solve the FM yellowing problem again?? i can see now why you were a bit paranoid before cos man, your windows are bright!!! and you have down lights too!!!

[Vector Prime]

Very nice mate!

Most people will probably go gaga over the Maximii, but not me, I'm drooling over the Botcon Dreadwind and Botcon Scourge & his army of sweeps! lol :D

[rampagesss]

Love the Maxi's and the Overlord display, a great collection man :D

[Linthart]

Thanks so much for all your praise guys.

Ah i've explained that little tidbit right before the photos. such a simple solution that i really hope works in the end. Also they're recessed conventional lights with energy saving bulbs but at first sight they look like halogen downlights which im sure would destroy most toys in moments being not very far away) which are also covered in said protection :D


Nice display, though why is a certin transformer got a funky paint swirl in each picture.

So nice and clean.. Hope it stays that way.,

It's a real shame indeed that the funky swirls came out but this is just how it has to be seeing as i believe a couple of members are police officers and i'd hate to shoot myself in the foot (pun intended)
And out of respect for Tiby who has worked so hard and has earned the right to display as opposed to myself who lost the battle with the authorities

Also i believe that display is everything which is why i keep everything in its place with as much visibilitty as possible, i try and not crowd things tooooo much but its not always possible. It's terrible when sometimes the cabinets cost more than the toys it holds. Like the mega litho frame cost me even more than the print. how evil is that.

[OrionPax]

Thats some awesome room you have there :cool:

and you have Peter Cullen's autograph! Nice :D

btw, something appears to be stuck on the air vent. Looks like a monkey :p

[blaster]

yep its a monkey. hehe

[blaster]

he has 2 Peter Cullen's autographs. lets play wheres wally. who can fined both of them?

[Linthart]

Ah yes, he's my mascot. forgot to take a pic of him. He's 'Burning balls monkey"

http://i740.photobucket.com/albums/xx46/LintonHart/DSC08006.jpg

The storey is that he is a cute fuzzy fridge magnet and i thought i'd test if he'd stick onto the vent that that's how he stuck the first time, sort of holding himself. Considering he's on the heating vent it was decided that he was protecting them from burning. Hence, burning ball monkey

Yep i love my autographed primes. Both my New years and Botcon released ROTF prime are signed

[blaster]

i thort he used to hang up side down from the bottom.

[Linthart]

i thort he used to hang up side down from the bottom.

he did for a week you're right. he was acrobat monkey for a moment but in the end, i liked the original :p

[heroic_decepticon]

man, you have one AWESOME room there.

I see that you managed to get Don's 25th Anni Lithograph in the end. How did you manage that?

[The_Damned]

Thanks for posting Linthart! :D:D:D Am thinking now of changing prolly my shelvings to white ones.... when I get the moolah for it.

[Robzy]

Why do you seem to have an uncanny ability to know who is winning what auctions? :D

[GoktimusPrime]

<swear words> If my parents had ever done that I would never speak to them again.

I once got p!ssed at my dad when he threw out my Beast Wars Inferno's box! I retrieved the box from the bin but he threw it out again when I was out. I had some choice words with him after that. And this was over a box... if my parents ever dared to get rid of any of my Transformer TOYS... Hell Hath No <expletive> Fury!

[Linthart]

So it was you that won the GODMASTER bracelets from the dude in the UK or have u had them for a while ?? :cool::cool:

Hmmm nope i've had them for a while now. found them on ebay not long after the madman release of masterforce. I love gimmiky items like that :D

[SOUNDBLASTER]

Why do you seem to have an uncanny ability to know who is winning what auctions? :D

That question was asked as I recently had my eye on a set of them on ebay that I forget to check on before the closing time..

I was gutted that I lost them .. :cool::cool:

Although it wouldnt be a bad ability to have :D

that might have been me who won them, although i only paid about 15au shipped for the two of them....

No these ones sold for 25 british pounds not including shipping .. They were MOSC too :cool::cool:

[Sleeve]

For a second I thought you'd broken into my place and taken my 20th Anniversary litho. I have that exact same frame, and considering it was custom-made I was quite surprised. :D

Beautiful collection, Linthart. Love the cleanliness and the tidy look of it and the study. Really sets if off.

[JuzMel]

Aww nice.... love it esp. all the lithographs / posters too.

No space for Leana's Blythe dolls? :D

[Linthart]

we have a compromise, she can do what she wants with the bedroom, i have the study :D thankfully she only has 2 bookcases worth of toys and whatnot so its all very cute and tidy in there

[Wheel-J]

Lovely room! Well done Linthart!

[Linthart]

UPDATED FIRST POST - LIVE & UNCENSORED :D

[Saintly]

VERY AWESOME! :)

[autobreadticon]

awesome collection and display, very chic

[Vector Sigma 13]

VERY NICE!

[STL]

Very nice. love the way the loose toys are dispersed among the MISB. and that combiner shelf looks smokin'!

[5FDP]

Nice collection LintHart. Very well displayed and neat.

Great to see some G1 boxes in there too :)

[1AZRAEL1]

Wow, love the collection. So many figures that I want, but will never have the chance to own :(:p

[klystron]

Very nice set up and display(s).
Envious I am.

[5FDP]

Envious I am.

Hehe... Yoda

[Linthart]

Who want to buy my glass cabinets :D

[sideswipes brother]

Sooooooo jealous, just be careful of that window. You dont want to have to soak all them beauties in Hydrogen Peroxide.
Where did you get that awesome signed Peter Cullen New Years Prime?? That would be my centrepiece right there.

[Linthart]

I also have a signed botcon ROTF leader prime but yes that's why that one is behind the glass. very special to me.

The windows are no problem :D i have 4mm UV treated perspex covering both windows and all the light fittings above :D

the new years prime came from ebay.


thank you all for your praise :D

[Geminii]

Looks like your Doubledealer's taken a dive! :)

[Hursticon]

Envy seems to be a dish best served cold Linthart. :p

[rampagesss]

Just wondering with your ikea glass cabinets how well do they keep the dust off your 1/6 figures? Because i want to put my 1/6 MGS Snake figures on display but just worried about getting them dusty.

Also in your T2 figures do you have the John Conner with his dirt bike? i remember when i was young he was very hard to find!

Lastly is that Joker in the nurse uniform custom?

[Eruntalon]

Also in your T2 figures do you have the John Conner with his dirt bike? i remember when i was young he was very hard to find!

I have that John Conner figure and his red dirt bike loose. I look back at merchandising such as this and find it funny how companies produce action figures for children based off of films that are clearly going to get too high a rating for them to legally watch by themselves.

Hey there, i've got a bunch of MP's plus some statues in a glass case from Ikea and they don't collect dust!!! At least, barely.
When I put mine in their they had been collecting it a little, but with a little clean and wipe, they look great!!!

[kup]

That is a super awesome study :) It would be very easy to sit there and get lost in thought while looking at your displays.

[liegeprime]

I don't think Id be able to "study" in that room though:p:o too many good distractions :D:D

[JPV]

Great Cybertron! I have to say super wonderful TF collection. Eveything is nicely shelved on some very excellent shelves and the TF arts are fantastic your whole room is special it was good of your to share all of it. Thanks!

[spooniebeard]

G2 Bruticus! Thats just the cherry ontop for me. An astonishing setup indeed.
I about screamed when I saw the Predaking litho.
