Gun Cabinet Display Basics
Some people collect guns because of their love for hunting, some because of their love for collecting in itself. Either way, the most rewarding part of the endeavor is to see the entirety of the collection displayed splendidly at home. With this, investing in a beautiful gun cabinet becomes important. In choosing the furniture, it is important to make sure that its function and aesthetic aspects are balanced and complement each other.
Most gun collectors put their display gun cabinets in the recreation room, the library, the living area, and the bedroom. While there is no customary rule on where to put the gun display, it will be nice to place the collection in the area of the house where it can stand out most. This is easy if you're a bachelor and living alone, but if you have a family it is advisable to put the cabinet in the most masculine area of the room-that is, the part of the house where you stay most of the time.
If you can afford it, turn an area of the house into a gun room. Placing the cabinets in a gun room makes the collection more secured. You can easily lock the chamber whenever you want to, not mentioning that it will free yourself from worrying that a member of the family may try to break open the gun cabinets and use the items.
In connection to security, as a gun owner you should be responsible enough to equip all the gun display cabinets with durable locking mechanisms. Sliding glass doors should particularly be locked with a metal barrier in order to secure storage without sacrificing the rewarding act of display. As you address concerns about gun protection and storage, don't forget the very idea of flaunting. Consult to interior design magazines and online websites to find out how to mix and match colors, design, material, and size of gun cabinets in relation to the motif of the house.

How to display a sword collection?
Hi. I collect old and new swords, and I want to put them on display on my wall, like on a wooden plaque or something creative like that. Does anyone have any good (not to expensive) ideas?
No snippy remarks, please. If you want to post a snippy remark or an I-don't-know, don't even bother to post.
I am also a wepon collector. I have found elbow hooks, round hooks and eyes hooks mounted into studs are the cheapest easiest, and safest way to mount your weapons. I am more about safety, seeing that I have a young one. You dont want to have someone accidently bump a wall and a kitana come down and lop their heads off. Its happen before trust me....

Things You Need to Know to Enhance Your Insect Collection
Create a fascinating and educational insect collection display to showcase your favourite species.
This way you can develop a much better appreciation for your entomology collection while showing it off to friends and family at the same time.
One of the best ways to augment your existing bug collection is to simply upgrade the general appearance.
You can begin by neatly arranging each of the different types of species into an orderly fashion inside a simple box or container. The best way to arrange this is from the top to the bottom and from the left side to the right side. The box or container should be a standard size and cleaned thoroughly before use. You can paint or wax the box to make your insect collection stand out more.
When placing the insects into the box make sure to group the specimens under their correct order and family names. Line up each category of similar insect groups together wherever possible as this is necessary to maintain a proper order in your overall display. You can distinguish the different orders and families from each other if you include labels which are clearly typed in a neat and organized way.
The background color of your insect collection display is also important as helps to exhibit your collection in a much better manner. A standard white color is usually best but you can choose other lighter shades of colors as well such as blue, green or red.
When deciding which particular species to include in your insect collection display it is best to choose the insects that are in the best condition from your entomology collection.
For example, the wings on any butterflies or moths need to be properly spread. Antennae, legs, and other protruding body parts need to be properly positioned when attempting to dry them. When drying your insect collection you need to support the head and abdomen of large and less rigid specimens to prevent any type of sagging that may ruin the appearance. If possible, try to recreate realistic or life-like positions when displaying your insects.
You never want to display damaged or poorly mounted bug specimens. It is far better to display a properly mounted simple specimen as opposed to a badly mounted rare specimen.
To properly display each insect in your container you will need to pin each specimen so that they are level and not tilted at an angle on each pin. If you have long pins it is best to place each specimen at a similar height on the pins themselves so it does not look uneven. Make sure to pin the insects according to the order of each family group of each species.
After you have pinned all of your insect collection you will then need to produce labels that are neatly printed or written. For improving the education value of your entomology collection it is good to make sure each label contains sufficient data of the species being displayed.
Position the printed labels on the pins so they are level, straight, and facing the same direction. Group the labels into specific insect species groups to organize the placement of specimens within the container. These labels should be held down by the pins so that they lie flat against the bottom of the display box container.
To produce appropriate specimen identification labels you need to be as accurate as possible when identifying your insect collection. Order level is important while common species names are necessary but not always required.
Make sure that the mounting technique is appropriate for a particular specimen as you do not want to pin any immature insects. It is best to use fully grown or mature adult specimens only.
For the most visibly appealing insect collection display you should include a varied selection of insects from as many different species as possible. Do not allow one group of insects to dominate the collection and overshadow all the other specimens in your display which would make it imbalanced. The types of specimens you choose to display are more important in advanced insect collections. Choosing perfectly mounted rare specimens is the ultimate goal.
The best way to produce an educational experience for your entomology collection is to simply make an educational display box.
Educational display boxes are created to educate others something about your insect collection. These types of displays utilize similar insect boxes as the regular insect collection boxes but much more creativity is demonstrated in educational displays than in insect collections. Educational display containers teach almost any subject in regards with insects and usually feature real specimens as part of the box. Subjects often select and include comparisons of specific details such as insect body parts, camouflage, habitat, growth and development, behaviour, food resources, or other important tidbits of information topics.
To create a good quality educational display you will need to remember that the purpose of the educational box is to educate others.
Keep the description simple try not to teach multiple concepts within a single display. Make sure the information presented is scientifically accurate. Note a heading in the container that clearly lets the viewer know exactly what the display is about. The display should tell its own story in as few words as possible to get the point across. For the best results display something you have personally witnessed or experiments you have actually conducted and last, but not least, try to be original.
Now that you know all the necessary tips to improve your insect collection go ahead and try to create your own insect collection display. There is nothing better than knowing that you created a beautiful and educational display for your entomology collection with your very own hands.
