How do you display your replica props?

[Chris27989]

The replica props that I complete and finish all go on display in a deep box frame on display on the wall. I'm looking for some new ideas of how to display mine.
How do you show off your props? Case's, Cabinets etc.

Detolf unit, bookcase and speaker tops. Also some wall-hung. I like to display one or two select pieces next to their respective movie posters - some one-sheets, some mini.

My display is very minimal these days, but I have a bunch of stuff in storage in the attic. Everything cramped together doesn't look good, in my opinion. I try to keep it tasteful...if possible.

I'd like to display my props better than what I'm doing right now. My GB gear is sitting in a box and my pack is in the garage, in danger of getting damaged.

Wall mounts mainly. Although the majority of my collection is just helmets. And with limited space I alternate every couple of weeks so there is something new. Looking to get a few mannequins to put my suits up though.

A few annual trips to my local Ikea gives me plenty of ideas.

I use modified Ikea bookcases to display my props, as for suits i use mannequins with rubber sculpt of the actors face or the helmet:lol

Bookcases and Detolf glass cabinets for me.....just wish I had a bigger room for more displays

Stuffed in corners.

I´m looking out for a way i like to display my blasters wall hanging - not found it yet, so they are still tossed around from left to right.

Boy, that is the $100 question, isn't it!?

I've found buying all this stuff is easy, displaying it in a way that I'm happy with is another thing altogether!

So true.

I created back lit death star wall panels from plywood and fiber painters cloth. Then i mount the weapons / props on the death star walls.

The few that I actually display are in 3 Detolf glass cabinets as well. Everything else is in a couple of very heavy duty rolling bins.

I've tried numerous ways of displaying props. I've actually thought about building false walls with lights and glass shelves. The entire wall would be glass sliding doors.

This is another of my favorites.

I have a combination of a Walmart bookcase, Ikea Detolf, and Ikea Besta with Tombo glass doors. Mismatch of furniture, but I like how it holds everything I have.

Wow that case sure is pretty. I was interested until I saw the price.:eek

I'm in the middle of setting up some helmet shelves. This isn't much more than "alpha"grade at this point but it gives you an idea. Wood backing wrapped in rubber runner, custom aluminum shelving (easily made), and a couple of rope lights.

Everything is coming down, ripping off the rubber runner and replacing, without bubbles this time, lighting replaced with warm white SMDs, and adding re-enforcement to the middle shelves. Too bad I already ordered the glass

Yeah the price they want is stupid. I could build a very similar display for around $300 using plexiglass, MDF , and aluminum bar stock. Maybe even cheaper if I keep the waste down.

How do you show off your props?

For right now I have most of my props on display in a glass cabinet in my living room. It's definitely more "cluttered" looking than I'd prefer, but I'm hoping to be able to spread things out a little bit this summer with the dedicated home theater that we're planning on building.
