Thread: Boxes for medals

Thanks for the encouragements guys, much appreciated. Cruzi good point about the tarnish on medals and brass but the guy I made the large box for (the one with the belt and brass in the bottom) has gold plated gear so it shouldn't tarnish.

Bernie P, I used to get my flocking from Timbecon but now I get it from Carbatec.

Groggy, thanks for the offer. I've put the word out through the "military network" but I just want to keep things local for now because I don't get as much "tool time" as I would like and if I get too many orders I won't be able to keep up. Perhaps one day when I've got more time on my hands I'd like to make something like these on a larger scale.

Thanks! I get the idea now. Very clever of you.

Not really clever of me. I got the idea from others on this forum and just copied them. There are a few WIPs and "how tos"around if you do a search. They really are a bit of a talking point on any box though.

bloody nice work mate. I would be proud of them,
regards michael

great looking boxes.

great job on the boxes.
