Well this is after one more weekend, finally having the time to buy 2 new form mannequin and a full size.
Was planning to use the form mannequins for the Bashir and Tuvok heroes but strangely enough the Bashir didn't fit at all. Was displaying very poorly on it.
So I took the Bashir stunt out of the half torso it was displayed on and changed for the hero to notice that Alexander Siddig and his stunt haven't quite the same size.
The stunt needed to be held on the half torso or it would fall down (especially the pants of course) but the hero is just staying in place nicely as is.
So change of plan, I put the Rom on the form mannequin instead.
The next step was to display my Klingon uniform on the full size mannequin. Everything went easy enough but for the boots. I could have tried to force them in place but then I was wondering how in hell I would ever be able to remove them later on.
Once displayed you can see how tall those badass Klingons are standing. Especially side by side with Ezri and the Intendant.
So took the only option I saw and saw off the feets of the mannequin. Then it was easy enough. Just did put the feet first inside, then slided the legs in.
I bought this full size mannequin as it seems looking like a guard standing on duty:
The second level of the display for lighter costumes on display:
All together:
Still in need to display the Nog and Bareil heroes, which I will do on each side wall at the second level. Just will put a hook on the wall and display the 2 costumes on half torso mannequins.
At last you can also see my signed baseballs on display with the costumes for the DS9 show and on my cabinets for TNG.
Waiting for a Klingon rifle, 2 more phasers display then Bashir's gun to put in the costume holster and my collection will be fully displayed.
A long time ago... in this universe I felt in love with a story pretty much based at that time on fiction and not much science. Interestingly enough time has let science took over part of the fiction but time didn't diminish my love of Star Trek. Not sure if one day my daughter will bless me for passing her the bug if it comes to that but hopefully she will be touched by the friendship I felt in the Star Trek world. Thanks to all that love Star Trek.
New Display room - Phase 1
Since we moved last December to our new home, I had to spend time to re-organize displaying my collection.
The room I had spared for my office/display room is a bit smaller than before but high ceilings.
So thought to have a custom made shelf to have two layers of mannequin on display. Still working on it but this is a first view of what it would look like.
As you can see the windows on top of the room have blinds as well as tinted screen to cut the UV just in case.
A space for some Star Wars items and a TOS Mirror Universe Mondo poster.
In our bedrooms corridor, my wife was kind enough to authorize displaying more frames.
A Jurassic Park plate also in a very good spot.
Then at last but not least I finally managed to display my Klingon banners in a decent place.
I acquired those from Lyn's collection and even though they aren't supposed to be together the yellow banner with the Klingon logo fits so well with the black one that you could think they are one piece.
I'm so glad to had the chance to bid on Lyn's item and finally could show that hopefully they went to a good home.

Then installed my two cabinets with most of my Star Trek collection in display cases.
