Collecting Movie Props
Wednesday, September 1st, 2010More and more Spartan gear is being found, bought, and collected all because of the fantastic 300 movie. Entire rooms as well as walls and corners of rooms are being devoted to the 300 movie collectibles. This article will tell you what gear you will need to make a full 300 movie collection. We’ll talk about what to buy, where to buy it, and even offer some suggestions on how to display it. Whether your thinking about starting a 300 movie collection or have been collecting for years, you will find this article useful.
Firstly, you need to know what items to buy for your collection. You should start off by buying the critical items before moving onto the rest. The Spartan sheild and helmet are the most notable items of the Spartan warriors. Buying a Spartan helmet and big Spartan shield are the first things you must do to kick start your new display.
The shield should be large enough to completely protect the Spartan warrior and should be completely round. Each helmet should be devoid of plumes and should be rounded at the top rather than spiked or horned. It should also have an open face and a cheek protector on each side. The shield and helmet were traditionally made with bronze, your replicas should mimic the color.
You’ll also need a nice javelin and a pair of leather sandals. A small sword should also be included. The Spartans used the swords to fight close quarters combat and it is important to have the full array of Spartan weapons with your setup.
You can buy these items using a few different methods. One of the best places to go for a large amount of variety and reasonable prices is the Internet. The Internet store armorvenue.com is a great place to go to find the 300 movie collectibles.
Displaying your items is the most exciting part of owning a collection like this. Separate stands as well as display cases, shelves, and table tops can all be used to mount up your movie props. One fantastic display method I saw was where helmets and armors were placed on stands while weapons and sandals were mounted. Hooks were used for the mounting of the weapons. This is just one example of a nice display. Use your imagination and create a fantastic display for your home.
