Displaying Spartan Helmets
Many people have a special place in their home to display their collectible Spartan helmets. Some people have actual real life helmets and others have Spartan replica helmets. Whether they have a replica or an original, the collector is always very proud of his collection. These items are usually displayed prominently in rooms that guests are likely to visit. This article will go over one of the best ways to go about displaying these helmets.
The first thing we should do is to talk about the most popular ways of showing Spartan helmets off. Shelf displays, table displays, glass case displays, and life size model displays are all very popular display methods.
The person lucky enough to have an original Spartan helmet should obviously put their helmet behind a glass case to keep it in pristine condition. He or she should also go ahead and lock it up inside this case so that it cannot be easily stolen.
However, if you are one of the many great collectors that have bought replica Spartan helmets, you should consider a shelf display. These displays are fantastic because you can easily put them at the perfect height level. This type of display does a great job of bringing attention to the head gear. When you pair up the helmet with its armor, shield, and sword, you add a lot of distractions. Having the helmets setup on a shelf by themselves eliminates this problem.
Another great thing about a shelf display is that they are easy to put up. The only tools you will need is a screw gun, some screws, and either a tape measurer or a a level. The use of stud finders can make things easy for safely mounting your Spartan helmet.
The shelves you use can range from scrap wood, basic wood, or even something hand engraved. The ends can consist of metal rods or sturdy boards to hold the full display up. Ensure that you pick a material that will hold up well over time.
The price of a shelf display cannot be beaten. You can use a large piece of scrap board and some pieces of scrap metal to create yourself a nice display. Add in some paint and some creativity and you’ll have something just as beautiful as your Spartan helmets.
Shelving can be increased in length through the use of longer boards and wider supporting materials. This way when you get more helmets you can easily add them to your display set up.
