I have noticed that there seems to be two general camps for displaying your prop replicas, and I’m not sure if this is gender oriented or not, but it seems to me that there are:
Personally, I think I am more like B, an Environmenter, although I have displayed my various collections both ways. Some collections do not lend themselves to environments, of course.
I have thought perhaps, being a woman, that it is more my nature to incorporate my ‘nesting instincts’ with my hobbies, but I can’t help but think that anyone would want to pursue what holodecks do in the Star Trek universe and BE THERE, if you know what I mean.
Any thoughts on how you prefer to display your ‘stuff’?
- Object Displayers: These people generally display there items on shelves or cases to be admired on an individual basis, very much as a museum does. Some people have beautiful and elaborately showcased their collections with back-lighting and direct lighting and have descriptive tags, etc, very much like an exhibition.
- Environmenters: These people try to incorporate their collectibles and replicas in a ‘total environment’, an area that encompasses a place that those objects may be appropriately found, sort of like a holodeck does. These people seem to want to immerse themselves in the sources of their items, and the surrounding in which their replicas are placed, are almost as important as the objects themselves.
