Pachyrhinosaurus

Pretty nice setup. It's interesting to see how different people arrange their figures to different criteria (like classification as you seem to have).

Where do the plexiglass boxes come from?
They are the same display boxes you would use for Diecast cars.  I got them at Michaels, but I am sure you can get them at almost any craft store.

Honestly, I don't even think that way when I start placing them.  Ideas hit me, I try it out, and see if they display well together.

Its been awhile since I've updated this and my collection has grown.  I've also changed my little corner of the basement so before the holiday season begins I figured I'll show you what it looks like now. 

My corner.

Halichoeres

I like the suspended ichthyosaurs! Nice setup.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Thank you.  I think there will be some small changes to that shelf, but the ichthyosaurs are staying were they are.

ceratopsian

I love the little display cabinets with the Kaiyodos inside.  The herd of ceratopsians et al. on top of the one on the left look like they're thinking of jumping!!

My son came home from school super excited the other day.  He quickly opened up his backpack and had this poster rolled up in it.  He told me the librarian was getting rid of outdated items and was asking the kids if they wanted any of the old books and materials. So he asked if he could have this poster. 


Libraraptor

Worthless to the librarian, a little Treasure for you and your son.  it found a worthy new home!

Tylosaurus

I would love to make a more dynamic display but all I have is a corner in the basement at my "work station".  :( 
I try a rotate through my collection so everything gets a chance in the sun. 

Shonisaurus

In any case laticauda your collection is immense, in this case the most important thing is not the furniture that houses those beauties are the dinosaurs. They are the best dinosaur toy companies by far.

I congratulate you.

Tylosaurus

Oh that is very unfortunate yet understandable bud.
But hey as a Steggo nerd and fan xD I totally love this set:


Yet I do wonder what Stegosaurids are the three little ones in the front left:
