Eric,
Sorry to see your hard work coming down. It must have been the spray adhesive and cloth combination. Maybe a different texture of cloth ?

Best,
Doc

Here is first effort to make a display for my collection. I looked trough some great displays on earlier posts and figured out that it has to be either custom job or some second hand thing…

Anyway I wend for yard sale in my area to look if anybody selling something … and found 3 displays for silverware (!), which after minimal modification looks really good. See pictures.

In ideal case I would prefer closed display, but it will work for me for time being. I just need to figure out good way to attach award to display itself as pinning to the cloth on the plywood is super tough task.

Two medals are gifts from the forum members! Thank you again guys.:thumbsup

Nice job abr! very innovative..the cool part is that it looks like something you'd see in a Soviet museum. The construction of the case really goes well with the content..:thumbsup

With the recent new displays, I got energized to start putting some displays together.

This is my Irreproachable Service Medals.

Wow is right! Very "unique". I like it a lot.
How did you mount the upper medals?
I assume that's an all wood display?
