How do you display your collection?

[LeapingLaelaps]

I don't have the biggest collection right now, but for those of you guys who do, how do you like to display everything? Do you organize things by species? Brand? Time period? Do you just shove everything onto a shelf and call it a day?

Just trying to get ideas for displaying my own mess of items
Hopefully when I get everything organized I can start my own personal collection thread to show everyone my things!

I display mine first by scale... I collect figures between 1:10 and 1:60, and display them on separate shelves for 1:12, 1:18, 11:25, 1:35, 1:40 and 1:55. Then, on each shelf I display them chronologically.

I'm certain there was a thread about this not long ago called "How should I display my collection" but I couldn't find it.

I think you're right. Merge?

Oops, was there? I couldn't find a thread like this, I might have missed it

I have 5 shelves, Schleich, CollectA, Safari Ltd., Papo, and Miscellaneous. Here is the most recent video of my collection(I have gotten 13 more dinosaurs since this video):

I display by brand as well, currently I'm only collecting Papo and Rebor, but If PNSO becomes more easily available/ cheaper they will be getting a shelf as well

[ZoPteryx]

Most of it is boxed, unfortunately.  Those still standing are crammed onto my bookshelf and on top of few terrariums! 

[Loon]

Very poorly, would be my answer.

[Ravonium]

Very poorly, would be my answer.

That would pretty much be my answer as well.

right now, about 99% of my figures are in storage bins.

Right now I have them lined up by "group" (ceratopsians, theropods, etc), I only have a small display with three shelves so line them up is the only thing I can do. I'm planning to make shelves for major groups, but I don't know when. I can't separate them by brand or scale, I don't know why but I dont like to see some ceratopsians here and there, mostly considering how few of some groups (stegosaurs, ankylosaurs, Hadrosaurs...) I have I prefer to see them all in the same spot.

[ceratopsian]

At the moment, all over the place.  Some are in temporary accommodation in a glass-doored bookcase in the sitting room, some are in a small and ancient bookcase (also with glass doors) from my childhood.  Quite a few are sitting on in rather overcrowded conditions an unused computer desk, next to another group on an unused coffee table (left over from recent redecorations).  And some lucky souls are sitting on the broad top shelf of my wardrobe above my clothes!  It gives my husband a bit of a shock whenever he glimpses the fierce Wild Safari Giganotosaurus glaring out, or the majestic PNSO Huanghetitan.  The Wild Safari feathered T. rex is sitting in splendid isolation in the bottom of my wardrobe (where he can't eat anything else!)  However, later this year I will be having purpose-built cabinets put into a spare room, so it will be bliss - until it fills up!

I am pretty sure there is a thread for this question. As for me I guess many people know how I display my collection.  I present it in Libraraptor 's collection on youtube.

Here is one similar thread, though I know there have been others. http://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=5501.0

[Derek.McManus]

I should not admit this but currently they are in a box under the stairs!

[Archinto]

I display my best figures in my legorium. I have sterilie stacler drawers with all my bionicle and lego sorted parts and the dinosaurs live on top. Ill group em by collections/sets and intermingle different figures for an intetesting display. My window and workbench shelves house my starluxesand metal figures, as well as my most valued millers and orsenigos. For anything that wont get damaged in my shop, they live on my shelving out there

[laticauda]

Even though I have limited room I try and display as much as I can.  I just do whatever looks good to me in the moment. 

[amargasaurus cazaui]

Sauropods fill the top of an entertainment center completely...Ceratopsians fill the bookshelf of my desk end to end, marine reptiles are displayed alongside marine fossils. Duckbills top shelf of my desk. Theropods on the top of the display dedicated to my dinosaur skeleton. One massive shelf is called Martinville and is all repaints of stuff done by Martin Garrat. A glass enclosed area of an entertainment center holds my dinosaur eggs and the appropriate nesting and egg models along with. Another entertainment center at the opposite end of the room holds two glass enclosed areas, one for my Turok, Creature and Godzilla models, the other for my unique or rare psittacosaurus models. A standing case by the door holds special sets like Dinotales series...UH club , the various special Japanese issues , and another shelf of martin repaints. Something like right at a ton of dinosaur bones, claws, eggs, eggshell, and around 3500 dinosaur replicas. My cat is named Grimlock appropriately

I display them by group as well, but only the regular Safari/Collecta/Papo etc figures. Next to that display are all the statues and kits, and next to that the JP and Dino Riders stuff. It's one long wall !
