My Extremely Humble Collection

We need some before and after's along the way!

Getting my 3rd Mega Tower was quite an ordeal... but it's here now. Here are a few pics of the trip. Special thank you to @thisguy - he met me halfway, and wasted a whole day driving, to help me get Tower #3. We each drove about 10 hours (5 hours each way). It was quite a trip. I went through so many tunnels, I lost count.

When I found @thisguy, it was raining and miserable out, probably why he wasn't creeped out when I asked "hey, do you want to go in the back of the van to take pictures?" 😆

Here are pics of the case when I got it home. It's going to look very different when I'm don't with it.

I'm still trying to kick this COVID. I have a ton of work to do to get the 3rd Mega Tower ready for use, but it's hard when you don't quite feel right. I might just try getting all of the plexiglass out of the display along with the shelves, and starting to set up a polishing station for all of that.
 
I was able to noodle around in the garage today, and make a small amount of progress... baby steps.

I disassembled the top of Tower #3, which allows you to remove all of the plexiglass, which is in very good condition. It will also make it a little easier to polish the crown, and rest of the case, with the plexiglass out of the way. There are 4 larger plexiglass panels (including the main door), and 4 shelves. They are all laid out, ready for polishing now. The bolts and hinges are thankfully in very good condition as well.

I made some progress today - all 8 pieces of plexiglass are polished and ready to go! Not bad for 30-year-old plastic!

Here is one of the 4 shelves... they are all really clean.

... and here is the main door... again very clear... probably the nicest panels out of all of my displays.
