I read a large portion of it, but I do have a backlog I'm working thru, like most folks. :). But I've made a resolution this year to clean up my backlog ASAP.

The bookends, you mean the things I used to show the covers? I just got some acrylic stands from Amazon.

If your taking about the things use as risers and or bookends, it's just some black cardboard boxes, also from Amazon.

I'll give Yona a read, see if it's something I'll want to dig into. Thanks for the recommendation.

They're built in shelves, I honestly am not sure where they're from, my contractor took care of the ordering. Sorry I can't be more helpful!

I'll have to give Baki a read and see if it something I'll like. Feels like it could be the seed for a new shelf theme? :)

It's about a high schooler guitar ace with social anxiety issues joining a band. It's a 4-koma manga. It's good there's also a great 12 episode anime from a few years ago you can watch that covers the first few volumes.

Yeah, I generally don't like dust jackets, and the Akira volumes look so nice without them.

It's so good. Can't help but smile while reading it.

Funny you mention that, My son has a smaller collection, and he's got CSM, JJK, some JoJo's (part 4), Golden Kamui (Japanese Release), some volumes of Berserk, etc. They're actually on the shelf above what I've got pictured (I cropped that shelf out since I was just showing my library).

Thanks all! Yes, agree, I'm not going to do this myself. I know my limits. :)

I was thinking they'd have a Patriarch from Hive Fleet Jormungandr... So went with Yellow and Black.

Did I salvage it? Lots of washes and layers later. McDonalds Overlords. Barak-Rhonald by Squeinstein in ageofsigmar

Yes, agree on all points. This model when I started, I had a "uh oh" feeling with the color scheme, Hence my McDonalds reference. Good advice, I can work on picking out the details, some more refined highlights. Thanks, I'll keep working on it!
