Title: Ideas for Shadow Box
Post by: Captain America on April 23, 2019, 06:08:56 PM
I don't know if this is the right section to post this, but here goes: I was in Hobby Lobby the other day and found a 30"x40" shadow box display. I thought this would be amazing to hang in my guest room with a spare M1 Garand in it, along with various Appleseed memorabilia or flags. I was thinking I'd put a red hat in there, my shot up orange hat, and my old AQT that I first scored 211 on. But I'm open to specifics like what else to include, and more importantly how to arrange it. I believe the Garand is 43" long, so it would have to be somewhat diagonal. What flags if any, and how folded and where placed? Any other suggestions?

maybe your first t-shirt. Mine had blood stains on the elbows for about a year before they washed out and I wore the shirt out. I think my wife sewed one of hers into a quilt.

I used to pick up a small rock from various ranges, and write the name date on them.

pocket constitution, bloody butchery poster, photos.

When you get it completed, please try and get a really good photo of it and maybe we can even use it for promo.

Put your retired Red Hat in there (once it is faded from the sun, sweat stained).

In the bottom corner write:

Are we not assuming a lot there, boss? I heard you have to be really smart to get a green hat. I mean, they don't just give them to anyone...

if you go with the "break glass in case of emergency" you will need a bandoleer of  loaded enblock clips
