Clear risers for a G4 collection?
« on: February 19, 2013, 12:40:57 PM »
My G4 collection has outgrown the dinky shelf I keep it on, and I now find myself in need of some risers to keep all my ponies visible and on display. I'm having some trouble finding ones suitable for brushables and fashion styles, however. Does anyone know of some that can be found for relatively cheap? If they're 4 or 5 step, that's even better.

Nail varnish racks like this one;

That particular one is available on Amazon from a UK seller.

The one I have is smaller (3 tier) for my paints, but my G4s do fit on it. I have to turn their bodies sideways is the only thing but it's a great space saver.

SailorEarth has a great tutorial for making your own risers as well - these would not be clear of course but you could cover them as you wish - http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,315724.msg521678.html

Other than that Daffys suggestion of nail polish displays are your best bet.
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:

Here is something I do that is cheap. I go to thift stores and buy old shower racks. I thencut out cardboard to go over the rack since their legs fall through. And then I cover it with a handkerchief so no one can see the cardboard or that your shelves don't match. My tablet takes crappy pictures sorry it's blurry.

you can also build rising shelves out of that foam board they have at dollar stores!

I display my brushables on clear acrylic 3-step risers I got from ebay. I think they were £7 each?
There were plenty of sellers of acrylic display products though, you can probably find them cheaper now in all sorts of different sizes and numbers of steps

Since G4 are so much smaller then the other generations you could easily go with spice rack made to go in cabinets.  Not clear but very nice - http://www.amazon.com/Copco-2555-0188-Non-Skid-Cabinet-Organizer/dp/B0036OQU56/ref=lp_510156_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1361396240&sr=1-4

We use big pieces of white Styrofoam that I get from work.  They come in the boxes of furniture we sell.  I have extras if anyone wants some, you would just have to pay shipping.

I have one of these for my G1 baby ponies and they stand perfectly facing forwards on them to give you an idea of size.  I guess G4s would also stand on those ok.  I don't really find the step tall enough for display, the babies are more like a class photo of just heads above heads.
