Bases for screen used props

[hydin]

Hey guys and gals.

I have a recent addition to my collection, and I am a bit stumped on how to really display it.

Normally my screen used or replica displays are "Whatever is open in the bookshelf, and a frame for the COA", but this time around I scored a pretty nice hero prop.

It has light up effects if I hook it to a battery, and they still work perfectly. My question is, for a screen used display would you go with "ambiance" or would you go with "museum" style?

Ambiance meaning a display like the scene on screen with functioning light up section, or museum meaning literally that, where it's in a case and on a pedestal, etc.

Just curious what the general rule of thumb everyone uses for their props. I haven't included any details of what it is, or where it came from because I want some general ideas. Once I get the display figured out, I will go share some pics

Personally I love the displays like the scene in the film, lava rock base, crystals, what not, but it really does depend on the item I think.

Sometimes if it's an instantly recognizable prop, then that also effects the type of display as I have found a kick-ass display can often outshine the prop.

So the type of item itself can make a big difference

For me it depends, but I always display them museum style. Either on a pedestal, or display case on a table, or display case to mount/hang on a wall. But ultimately, its whatever you think looks best.


Whatever it is, sounds awesome,...cant wait to see pics!!!!
