thoughts on "scientific" type display for prop teeth?

[TylerHam]

Hi All..

I have a bag of prop teeth, and I wanted to make a display for them that looked like something that might be found in a lab, or university..
"scientific" looking, of that makes sense...

ANyone have any ideas?

what about looking on evil-bay for scientific equipment??

 

[TylerHam]

Good idea!

I kind of wanted to maybe shadowbox something...

How many teeth are we talking here ??? could you not use something like the stands they put over bunsen burners to heat liquids the three legged things with a gauze platform on top would look very good as a display stand.

Instead of scientific, how about a plain-old dental study model, like one of these:

Crazy! They are actually monster teeth though.. would need a big set of jaws

I'd go for something a little more classical. Like a Victorian or Darwinian lab or museum. I typed "small finds museum tray" into google and found these...

If you search for "typesetter tray" you come across these

just my two cents, or pence actually.

Cheers

Maybe you can post a photo of the teeth next to a ruler for scale so we can be inspired...

get some really cool vintage jars and float them in clear resin like they are floating.
