Display ideas.

I like the spears on the ceiling; visible, accessible, and out of the way.
In my house they might pick up quite the smoky patina up there

This is my latest solution for big heavy items. I have a couple of long versions holding a lot more. I try to aviod storage made for specific items, as when you move them on, what you get back or have left mostly no longer fits the place.

Displays your toys and they are easy to get out and play with.

Hi Fernando
in France ... fair prices for Plexiglas stand

completely hopeless, too narrow market,
only 2 or three dealers, no competition

Living as I do in rented digs, I find myself pretty well unable to display any items at all. The sad result is that my muskets are propped up in the corner, for no-one's pleasure save my own. Yet, in a way, I like that; there's a certain hint of the natural about them - as though they still stand ready for action, rather than having entered retirement...

Easy to grab one in a hurry and blast the intruder to smithereens!

Just keep them loaded, boy, keep them loaded :-)
