So where are you putting the tree next year Phil?

BLAH BLAH BLAH I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!!

It has been discussed and it will go against the other wall where my foot lockers(4+Ammo crate) are now

They slide quite easily on the tile floor and I'll just move them to the other side behind the couch when the time comes

My wife actually said I could take the tree down now,
But I am a traditionalist when it comes to when it all ends.

I was taught January 7th. That is when the Wise men arrived.
Now it is also the Anniversary of my Father's death.
So all light out after that!

Useless this Tree turns in to an Amy Winehouse and start to drop needles and dies it will be up till them

Alrighty , Well I got the display case put together. There is only a small hole on the top back of the top cover for me to slide in the LED strips. I didn't like the cord running down the back and they are not adjustable and are quite bright. Glaring bright!!
So after doing some reading on the WWW, I see some folks are using LED pucks. I got a set of 6 for $20 and they have a remote that can be used to adjust the brightness and they also can be changed to red, blue and green. I put the LED strips behind the mannequins and you can see how bright they are. I put those are on the clapper. My grandson loves to turn them on!!!! CLAP ON-CLAP OFF!!



You can see how bright the strips are in this full view.


I am very happy with this case.
My Haube was way up on top of a shelf. Now I can look right at it!!

Looks fantastic Phil.

(I do wish I could expand the photos to get a nice close up look though )

Michael,
I used my wife's phone and thought it would be ZOOM in capable.
I was as disappointed as you were.

I'll try and figure it out and get better resolution pic's.
And thank you Bodhi and Michael for the compliments.
