Well, okay so I skipped a step on this design from a previous entry, Ill get back to that later….but here it is a traveling display that can be easily shipped or checked in as baggage on the plane. Ill also preempt this by apologizing for the crappy photos, I was still getting used to the camera I was borrowing.
So to make a long story short, and having refined the packaging some, this display will fit into two of the Pelican Cases (1700) mentioned in a previous post. The whole enchilada comes in at about 45 lbs per case, just under the airline requirements. Its assembled using the special t-slot connectors and one allen wrench. Total assembly time is under 2 hours working diligently. Break down is just over an hour.
The entire display is 8′ tall, just under 10′ wide and about 32″ deep, with shelving space of 12″ x 28″ times 4. The lights are slightly modified JANSJÖ units from Ikea, I personally like these units for two reasons. 1) they are LED’s so they dont get super hot, kinda warm, but touchable, and 2) give off a nice WHITE light color, no yellowness here, and that really accents the stainless steel better than any other light Ive played with.
In case your wondering, the back drop itself are the cellular shades you can get at any home improvement store, and the name plates are just die cut stickers on acrylic. A bit more tuning is to be done, namely finding an alternative light weight, ridged, shelf material, the steel shelving used is quite heavy and I want to eliminate that. Having shipped this display home going thru FedEx Ground, and the cases will withstand the the love shippers give them.
Ill get to and entire materials list in another post, but figure Id post this while I had a free moment.
