Thank you guys for your support and commits. To answer a few questions I saw:
1)How to do the retro WCW solid blue skirt. Its a piece of blue fabric I brought from Walmart. Over in the fabric department they have theses squares of different colors for like $1. You just measure and cut it and fold it over the regular ring skirt.
2) How long did it take to make these. I started to collect wrestling stuff again about 3 years ago. As a child me and my brother use to make arenas with the jakks stuff. I just take images of the backstage setups from TV and recreate them as best I can. Its a hobby, I like to collect the accessories and props more than I do the figures.
3) Painting the walls As I said at the beginning of the post in rhe description. I have 3 display boxes I made from wood myself. 2 are for backstage areas and one is for the stage/entrance. I have 11 setups total, so I cannot paint the boxes because the setups need different backgrounds, so it looks better to just have the walls plan also the pine color wood helps the displays with natural lighting. When I buy my house in a few years I am going to buy this curio cabinet I want. it has 6 open shelves and is 4ft wide by 18in deep. I will then be able to display everything at once and do a specific backdrop for each set. Right known the setups are keep in individual storage containers in a cabinet I have.
4)How long to get so much stuff and how. I have a seller on the bay I have been buying from since I started back collecting. Most of the time I just tell him what I want and if he has it he sells it to me out his sales collection or else when he finds it he lets me know before he posts it for general sales. I also buy big lots of accessories off the bay. I have 3 storage totes of accessories I don't currently use, but I hold on to them incase I think of something else I want to build. Jakks made so many cool pieces back in the day the choices are endless of things to do. At least 90% of my accessories are Jakks. As far as cost goes for all this stuff I try not to add it all up because I know its a ridiculous amount I have spent (LOL). But like I said its a hobby and I have been collecting this stuff for 3 years so I didn't buy everything at once.
5)later tonight or tomorrow I am going to add pictures of my accessories collections like weapons for matches and also my collection of figures.
If there is anymore question let me know.
