Seemed like an illustrated Viper was the best I was going to get for these guys, the viper bay is 20 inches long, so it’s impressive in scale, and I love the launch tube addition. This is the first time I’ve added figures into the background of a Dida display, but I wanted the bridge to feel as busy as it is on the show.

As I said in the work in progress thread at the Mego Museum, I wanted the art inside to feel like a retro sci-fi illustration with loose painted brushwork.

Thanks for looking! Let me know if you’d like to commission one.

The Detolf shown below has a mixture of DIY Display walls and Simple Backdrop walls on each shelf. I also customized the Detolf to add two extra shelves and make them fit Didas better. (See info below gallery)

Adding Shelves to a Detolf: The Detolf has been modified to reduce the shelf size from 15″ high to 10″ high, thus adding 2 more shelves and making for a better Mego sized fit. I found this tip on other collector websites. 1/8″ rope clips that you can usually get at a local hardware store will grip the support rods of a Detolf securely. The glass shelf rests on the bolts. I had 2 pieces of glass cut to size to match the original Detolf shelves. Each of these new shelves is about 10 inches high to accommodate a Dida panel. One mine the third shelf from the top is only 9 1/2″, it is resting on the existing detolf side rods so I trimmed the Dida down to size, but if you wanted to do each as 10 inches tall you could.

Cost is $130 shipped in the USA.
