How to Make a Greek Armor Collage

Very recently I had a customer want an entire set of Greek armor and weapons for a 3D collage he was hanging on the wall for his new Greek restaurant. So, what items did he use and what can you use to increase the authentic atmosphere and environment of your Greek restaurant? Here are some tips that you may want to consider.
If you are making a 3D collage, there are a couple of ways you can go about it. Probably the easiest way is to take two Greek spears and have them crossing on the wall. They will be relatively inexpensive compared to armor and they will take up most of the wall, catching people's eyes. You can then add a Greek helmet to the top of the collage to add a little extra spice to the display. Another simple way to add to your décor is having a couple of Greek swords on display. Though smaller than the spears, they will get the point across.

If you really want to go all out and have a full display of armor and weapons, then this is what you'll need to do. First of all, most Greek armor is not meant to be hung on the wall, so you'll need to custom make a wall hanger or else a wooden shelf to put the armor on. The Royal Greek Muscle Cuirass is perfect for this. It is made by the manufacturer Deepeeka and is carried in many online stores. This armor set also comes with a Royal belt, which you can hang from the armor. Next, you'll need to make a helmet stand or wall hanger for any one of the many authentic Greek helmets available in stores. However, if you wish to match your armor, you'll need to get the Royal Corinthian Helmet. Add a Greek shield (any one will do, but the Trojan war shield will look best), and a sword or a couple of spears hanging behind the armor and you'll have a good looking 3D collage.
