How To Display A USS Enterprise Model
When you buy a USS Enterprise kit, here are some tips to help you assemble it:
-
Follow the instructions that come with the kit to make sure all your pieces are in the right place.
-
Take your time, and make things neat.
-
Don't be afraid to add personal touches.
Displaying Your Model
Now that you have your finished model, you need to decide what to do with it. Some kits come with suggestions for display or with a stand to help you set up the finished product. Whatever kit you get, you can display the starship in a creative and fun way.
On a Bookshelf
One of the most popular ways to display a finished model of the USS Enterprise is to set in on a bookshelf. The model can look great tucked in beside, or in front of, your favorite sci-fi books. Enterprise models look particularly neat against a black bookshelf, but they can easily be overlooked on a shelf that is too cluttered. Another option for displaying your finished model is to place it on top of a bookshelf where there is less going on. It is easier to appreciate the model from a higher vantage point and in a more sparse space. If your kit came with a stand, use the stand to place it on the corner of your bookshelf.
Desk Display
Buying a USS Enterprise kit is a good choice if you want something to display on your desk at work. An Enterprise model is both fun and sleek looking, fitting in with most office decor choices. To display your model at work, use the stand in the model kit or buy one. Stand the ship up in the corner of your desk. A model spaceship fits in really well with metallic desk toys and displays, like a metal globe or a silver Newton's cradle.
Hanging
Your USS model kit may have come with a stand, but that doesn't mean that standing is the only way to display it. Hanging up your ship is an interesting display choice that is great for a bedroom. You can hang your Enterprise model from an empty corner using thin plastic wire that is nearly invisible so that your ship looks like it's really floating.
Backdrop
Some serious collectors use a USS Enterprise model kit to build a complete scene inside their room. You can hang or stand a finished model in front of a printed or painted backdrop of stars for a truly eye-catching display.
