Hi all:
There are truly some inspiring threads here with some amazing collections and displays. I figured I'd share my small collection of props. It's not much yet, but I'm getting there!
Basically I went the Adam Savage route of cramming what I could into a Billy bookcase. It's in the living room, as I don't have much space, and have to limit how "nerdy" I can get away with.
I lit each shelf using Norm Chan's method (LED-tape on aluminum channels). Seeking a more "museum" look, I also cloth-wrapped some foamcore to cover the tops of the shelves, and bought a bunch of assorted-sized clear stands. This allows me to display things at different heights.
This is a collection of things I have bought, assembled and finished myself, or 3-D printed and finished myself. A couple items I've modified, and a couple I made from scratch. A couple of the items are powered and lit, and some of the items I've acquired from YOU folks here on the RPF!
Still have lots of space to stock, but mostly just little things! I'm just starting out, so I have a long way to go! But when friends or family come over, they always spend several long minutes looking at it all!
Would love any opinions, suggestions or ideas (for content or style). Thank you!
Bill
