Arne, a passionate LEGO collector and participant in LEGO Masters, has created an impressive 'minifigure wall' using opal white acrylic sheets. His creation brings his love for LEGO to life and provides a unique way to showcase nearly 600 minifigures. With this project, Arne managed to solve the issue of organising and displaying his extensive minifigure collection.

The Project

Arne explains: "Inspired by my experience in LEGO Masters, I've made my own 'minifigure wall'. It's a wooden frame fitted with LED strips, completed with an opal white acrylic sheet. On the acrylic sheet, I've attached 1x8 LEGO plates using transparent glue. This way, almost 600 minifigures can be neatly displayed."

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the process

1

Secure

Secure a wooden framework to the wall. Ensure it’s sturdy enough to support the sheets.
2

Mount LED strips

Mount LED strips on the framework. Position them so that they shine both upwards and downwards for the best lighting effect.
3

Place the sheet

Place the opal white acrylic sheet onto the frame. Finish the edges with a decorative molding.
4

Attach plates

Attach 1x8 LEGO plates to the acrylic sheet. Use transparent glue so the minifigures hold firmly in place.
