 Posted: Feb 17, 2014 13:19 Post subject: Some impressions of Tobi collection |
|
|
The plan of moving together with my girlfriend during the next months forced me to replace my former mineral showcases by a larger one that can host most of my display collection (~ 135 specimens). Here are some impressions of my collection after finishing the set-up in the new display:

No Pierre, there's a much simpler explanation for the origin of the display. Let me explain it in four letters: IKEA ;-)

And finally the last ones. Please excuse that the photo quality is not the best; but this was rather a test for the set-up of my new showcase than a specimen shooting. Feedback about how i arranged the collection in the new display is welcome :-)

Hi guys,
i saw that my photos of the new display were moved to a separate thread. Good idea, but please could you chance my name in the topic from "Toby" to "Tobi", for there's no Y in my name ;-)
Thanks!
Tobi
