Here's a nifty idea for displaying your Lego minifigs. You can take an ikea Ribba picture frame, and make it into a display.
I can't take credit for the idea. Someone else posted this online, but they seem to have forgotten that Ikea uses metric measurements, and they did all of their measurements in inches. This resulted in bizarre spacings that are not easy to reproduce. Seriously, they had measurements like "3.07 inches". Where does one find an inch ruler in hundredths instead of base 2 fractions?? So this is the same thing, but in convenient metric measurements.
Step 1: Buy an Ikea Ribba 50x50cm picture frame
Step 2: Buy a piece of hardboard the same thickness as the glass, and cut it to 50x50cm.
I believe the glass is about 3mm or 1/8" thick.
