In this video, I walk you through a Modcuase assembly. The specific example is a MAX150 case; however, the general process works for any case, including DF or Sixth series display cases. In late 2023, Moduspace stopped pre-assembling the front face of the case due to packaging changes. I've updated this video with instructions for that here • Moduspace Moducase Fro... as well as placed a pop out card link in the video.

Thanks for taking the time to make the video
I spent 2 hours with you tonight putting together this case. Thank you!
One of the best construction videos I've seen! Great job giving clear directions, and visuals, all one-handed too!
I just finished putting together 3 DF120s and 3 DF60s, so everything went really smooth for me. Would have been a 30 min construction, except I didn't like the acrylic sealers jutting out on the last bar placed on top of them, so I redid that with the sealer inside of the bars.
Very well explained! I appreciate the close ups.
Thank you for this video mate - Helped me put my custom Moducase together.
Thanks, this really helped me out. I was struggling quite a bit, took four and a half hours to build just one. 1/3 MAX 150's built for me tonight though! Hardest part is getting the acrylic side panels in. It seems the newest batches don't have the screws pre-put in (assuming you didnt put them in yourself) - if youre confused like me - grab the longest screws and screw em in yourself to about the point that you've reproduced whats shown in this video. Also the backboard/top board is now white on one side - put these facing outwards of course. No pre made holes for lighting for me either so ill have to cut those out myself - prefer that though.
Sounds rough. The screws is something they seem to go back and forth with. Back at their start, you use to have to set the screw yourself but then they started doing it for you. Maybe given how far behind they’ve fallen, they stopped setting the screws again 🤷♂️. The back boards are now reversible so you face the black or white side according to preference. Odd you didn’t have holes cut though, I’ve never seen that one. Thanks for checking out the video 👍
@Dan14thPrime my "holes" were instead just a notch on the corners for pulling wires through. Perhaps they missed this and put them at the top >.>
Dude seeioslthanks for this video. Building this case was challenging. Uild things a lot I m past. I’m trained and certified comp tec. And mood te heads up putting this case together is muc appreciated. These cases are all about tolerances wen building them. Leaving slack but not to muc. All I say is save a beer for when you finish. But thanks
Super helpful. I'm supposed to get a bunch in Q2 of this year, so I'll be saving this video to refer to later. Thanks for the upload.
Awesome video thank you I needed this
Why would you put the back panel so the holes are at the bottom? Wouldn't it make more sense to put them at the top so you don't have to hide the vertical run of the wires on the inside?
That little nook is super sharp with the massive MAX150s. Looks amazing.
Thanks. 👍 To your question, the bottom board covers those holes so everything finishes solid and black. If you flipped it with holes up top, not only would you see the holes, you’d slightly have to jog out the wire and see it too.
How wide is this set up ?
@@ToyQuest101 Two Max150’s wide 🤷♂️ - believe that’s 56”
@Dan14thPrime yea you right I was looking at wrong thing 🤦♂️
Thank you for sharing the video, but I have to ask….
How on earth do you get the side glass in? It’s a wobbly mess! I’ve spent two hours just trying to seat it and then trying to get the front bar on. I’ve never had a more frustrating install experience from such an expensive product.
Usually straddling it with it squeezed between my palms down low near the trim strip and trying to just get it started. From there, once you put the back bar on and tighten it down, it just forces it in the rest of the way.

Cool! I’ll give that a try on the next shelf. Just had 6 units show up and am in the process of putting them together. Got one done, and it had two shelves in it. Took a long time and don’t even have the lights in yet! Thankfully they look awesome, but I questioned my decision to buy a few times putting the first one together. Your video is really good - appreciate you helping folks like me out!
Great video. However, I'm absolutely stuck right at the beginning as my case that just arrived doesn't have the preassembled frame. They are all in pieces. Therefore, it is glossed over and I'm already stuck as to what orientation and what piece goes where etc. Granted I tend to not be great at building this kind of stuff, but the instruction manual in conjunction with this is also not helpful as it not only begins with it assembled too, but it is a cube shaped frame, not the same shape as in the video and I have.
Ugh, this will take longer than expected...
I'm mostly stuck as to how the screw goes into the side to assemble that first main frame. It doesn't appear long enough to go through and screw in. Probably missing something simple here, but extremely frustrating!
Yeah, I just got another Max 150 and noticed the same. I’m planning on doing an update video. In the meantime, place the 4 pieces magnet side down. The piece with the screw hole, put at the top. Make sure the raised edges of each pieces is around the outside. That’s how you orient it. And you can put those 4 pieces together in any order to make the face frame. From there, the rest of this video still works.
@@Dan14thPrime thanks so much for the reply. Okay, I've got it in the correct orientation. Apologies as I'm clearly missing something here, but how would you explain how to assemble them? The screw (from one of the bags that have the larger screws) doesn't fit through when I put it through the side of the larger piece to go through to insert into the smaller piece? Is it something completely different I need to do?
@@davehall8924 I think the screw stuff is in this video so you may want to watch it for overall context and understanding. But basically you take a long screw and a washer with it, and you set (begin to screw in) it into the end of the aluminum bars. The screw head and washer then slides into another bars T-slot. And you use the wrench provided to tighten the screw, through the holes that go through the bars. This keeps it all hidden and “inside” the casing. Check the vid.
Amazing! I feel silly for not watching more of the video, but I guess I was fixated on trying to figure it out. Thanks so much, I feel like I can kick on with the assembly now! Have a great day 😁
Great video. Best one I've seen on assembling of the Moducase. Really torn between getting the Max150 or Max 70. If I go with the Max150 I would need additional lights and shelf. If you have done this yourself, are they fairly easy to install?
Thanks. If you buy their shelf, you get an extra light bar. It’s easy.
@@Dan14thPrime Thanks for the reply. Didn't realize when you bought a shelf they came with lights. Perfect.
When you put the reducer on the sidepanel there, did you have any issues with it pushing in flush into the Backbar as you screw in? My first attempt seemed like it didn't push fully in so it was sticking out a bit which was annoying but if I put the reducer in the bar first then try to slide them in the screws get caught and I can get them in properly.
No never had that issue. Th reducer, panel and frame are all going to get pulled in flush as you tighten the screws down. It may be that you don’t have the reducer centered/spaced evenly. 🤷🏻♂️
Hey, Dan! For the top shelf, is that a max 140, or did you simply just connect the two 150s with two shelves?
Hi, are you asking about the case on top of the 150s? That is a modified Max140Plus case. It’s same width and depth but I had them make about 3” taller to fill out the nook.
@@Dan14thPrime Yep! That answers it. I'm considering getting two max 150 plus and then getting a taller max 140 like what you have. Do you find the 150s are tall enough without risers?
@@WillFoxification Riser is just a personal choice if you want you’re display higher. My main issue with 150 is that I collect a lot of 1/3 and by the time you put a 1/3 in there, it eats up the whole case. Not much room for anything else. I’ll probably pull the Knightfall Batman out of there because of it. Max150 is great for one half scale or two shelves of 1/4 scales. The Max150plus may help that a bit but depends on size of the 1/3 - some go 35”+.
@@Dan14thPrime Yeah, see I buy a lot of 1/3, but also a lot of 1/4. Is there a better size for 1/3? I'm guessing custom boxes would be needed.
@@WillFoxification I think the Max150plus is suppose to be better for 1/3 if you want to also use a shelf to split the case but it will depend on your pieces. I think Max 150Plus tried to give more like 60” interior height but that’s still a little short for two 1/3. Would work great though for a 1/3 and 1/4 probably in the same case. Otherwise, yes custom. I have some custom cases coming - some have 40” interior height which will accommodate most 1/3 well. I also got a couple with 50” interior height for monster pieces (like Superman Hush).
Can I get your opinion on how important the washers are ? I built three of these without the washers cuz I missed that part in the video … been holding sturdy so far in the 3 months installed…
I think you need them. The aluminum is fragile. The washers distribute the force so the aluminum doesn’t tear or bend.
How were you able to lock the acrylic into the rubber reducers? Finding it difficult to squeeze it into place without bending the whole thing
You just push it down. Then when you tighten the case, it all "clicks" in tight.
Did the Max 150 come with shelves or are those an additional cost?
It’s a small add on.
My frame came unassembled, do I use the short screws or long screws to assemble the frame ??
I have a video for that linked. All the framing screws are the same - long with washer head.
Thank you !
Is this good for 1/3 scale statues?
Max can work for 1/3 but it’s not ideal. I’d recommend the MaxPlus line for 1/3 or just have custom dimension case made from them. The latter is most ideal so you can best fit the cases to your collection.
Great video. I noticed small openings in the back of these cases. do they not seal completely? Only because I have a Husky and I want a case that has no opening to allow air in
It closes up. You have two small holes at the bottom of the back board for wiring but they get covered by the bottom board. Nothings air tight but these close up about as good as anything.
@@Dan14thPrime Thank you! And thank you for your time brotha
How do you bracket them together?
Check out my small parts video. There's T-posts and brackets.
I put a few of these together over the weekend, getting them to line up just right to join them vertically was the hardest part! :D
