| I sort my bear per species, brown+grizzly, polar, panda .... Each species on its own shelf in a large glass vitrine. On the shelf i arrange them by size or position; walking left to right, rigth to left, standing upright, sitting, lying down. Large ones at the back, small ones upfront. I do have to think off a new way to raise the figures at back of the shelves as you cant see them as good. I used to cut-up cardboard toilet rolls but as the largers animals are at the back i need a more sturdy base. For the polar bears shelf i thought of styrofoam blocks from TV or other household appliances, but uptill now i was nog happy with the look. |

Perhaps it is worth trying the traditional method of landscaping, papier-mâché, sprayed white to represent ice/snow for polar bears, or sprayed/brush painted as appropriate to represent a rocky ledge, perhaps with some vegetation as used for model railway layouts. |

| I am so not arts-and-crafty, so that would be one project doomed to fail, taking up way too much time and space. |

| Ah, I was looking for a topic like this - looks like I found it! At this moment, I arrange most of my animals by species/types. I do have some exceptions, such as my Albert Heijn WWF figurines. They are all together in one selve, arranged by series Yet sometimes I have the urge to arrange them by brand Especially the small K&M and Play Visions figurines.. |

| Why I never answered in this topic is one more STS mystery for me All my animals are on shelves, no more boxes for me. I ahve different way of arrangement. I have a display for old Hollowcast lead and also a few small scaled composition animals. They are arranged more or less by continent. I have a display for my "big" composition animals, also more or less by continent. I have a display for reptiles and amphibians, arranged more or less by genus. I have a diplay for Prehistoric animals arranged more or less in a toxonmic way. I have nearly two displays for postwar vintage plastic stuff (with a few modern small adds), mostly arranged by continents, except for Clairet and two sheves of 50's animals. I have four displays for modern style animals, arraged sometimes by continent and sometimes by taxonomy. |
