Showcasing our collection

Post by MattG »

Kristy and I have often wondered how to get more of our Star Wars collection out and visible on shelves. The reality is that, in terms of numbers of items, only a small fraction of our collection lends itself to display, with the majority of it all being filed or stored away.

To try and showcase our collection, we've started a blog where we will feature one or two collectibles each day (should take a few decades at that rate).

If anyone is keen to follow along, check it out at the following links:

Thanks. It's already turning out to be quite an enjoyable project, digging out older collectibles we haven't looked at in a while, and documenting them with associated trivia. We've got a lot of 2-dimensional stuff in particular that is filed away... like Kristy's Clone Wars production art that she posted about today :) http://www.villavarykino.com/original-c ... e-artwork/

It's a project that we've had in mind for a while - I'm really excited to dig through our boxes of stuff tucked away to photograph, and I'm even finding some things I'd forgotten about! :)

Thanks for the comments :)

We've been digging through all sorts of storage to get something varied out on a daily basis.

We've been doing some dusting and re-organising of displays. Got all the Gentle Giant KOTOR/SWTOR figures together.
