I have a number of similar sort of 3D type pieces like this to mount in box frames and just wondered what the best strategies are that you pros employ for these types of jobs?
Its not a suipid question, but the awnser is probably rather a long one and a little hard to approach without alittle more info.
Do you mean 3d object you want to frame is the just Wonka bar or do you want to know how to create the whole thing? Are you starting from basics ie do you know how to make a basic frame, have you even done any 3d framing? Do you have access to a CMC? Do you have any basic equipment? HAve you searched through the forum for 3d object framing threads and read everything you can?
A lot depends on whether you want to preserve the object in it's original form.
The choccy bar for instance. The easiest way would be to carefully extract the bar from the wrapper from the back and make dummy one out of wood and screw to the backboard from behind.
Hi guys, it's not real chocolate, its a plastic prop
Forget about the rest of the frame, all the laser cutting etc, just looking for how to mount such a piece without causing any damage to the item, this is a small fry piece, I have other lots of other movie prop pieces that need framing in such a way, some of which are worth several thousand pounds thus anything that even remotely resembles glue is a big no no. Maybe some sort of acrylic pieces to hold the piece in place? I've seen that method used before but always thought it lacked the wow factor.
Imagine holding the thing in your hand - all you need is something to take the place of your fingers, like formed rods covered in shrink tubing, like those plate hangers you can get, but custom-made. Or, depending on the shape/size/weight of the thing then a clear archival polyester wrap, or straps might work.
