Displaying your build: wall mounts vs cases

You have finished the build. Now the important part: where it lives. The right display makes a brick model look like a collector's piece instead of a toy on a shelf.

Wall mounts: for long silhouettes

Wall mounts suit swords, bows, axes and polearms: anything defined by its outline. Mounted horizontally at eye level, a long model reads instantly from across the room.

Why we like them

  • They take no shelf or floor space.
  • The whole silhouette is visible, with nothing in front of it.
  • A pair of mounts can hold models up to [XX] cm safely.

Tips for mounting

  1. Find the balance point of the model before drilling; mount just outside it on both sides.
  2. Use wall plugs rated for at least three times the model's weight.
  3. Keep mounted models out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.

Display cases: for detail and dust

Acrylic cases are best for smaller, detailed models: daggers, sci-fi sidearm props and anything with fine greebling that collects dust.

Why we like them

  • No dusting, ever. Bricks stay clean and bright.
  • The base lifts the model and frames it like a museum object.
  • Cases are stackable on a shelf, so a collection stays tidy.

What to check

  • Inner dimensions: leave at least 2 cm on every side of the model.
  • UV-filtering acrylic if the shelf gets sunlight.

Stands: the in-between option

A desk stand angles the model towards you and works well on a desk or bookshelf. It is the easiest option if you like to pick the model up and look at it.

Quick answer

  • Longer than 60 cm? Wall mount.
  • Small and detailed? Case.
  • Want it on your desk? Stand.
