In addition too 2 display cases I have about 8 small satellite displays of scenes that I change from time to time using items my collection. They are easy to make and safe for your figures and armor and great if you only want a temporary setup.

Omdurman 1898

1. W Britain 21st Lancer

2. W Britain Grenadier Guard

3. JG Miniatures Bell Tent

4. JG Miniatures Desert Plants

5. BAR barrels and crate

6. Sand color felt from Jo-Anns--available in several shades of tan and a number of other colors such as browns and greens.--cut to fit case. I have also used Woodland Scenics paper mats of sand and grass.

7. Football trophy case from Michaels

Time to put together after collecting materials--5 minutes

Quite nice Randy. It even got me motivated to call Mandi at Treefrog to ask about the Grenadier Guard. Unfortunately, it's on backorder :( Anyway, I did see that a new Camel Corps will be coming out, now scheduled for October so that will be on my list.
 
That's the football display case, isn't it? I have a couple of those, too.

I'm thinking of making a little riser insert to put inside, to elevate the figures at the back of the case.

I like that they come in two different colors of stain, too. I have two like yours, in the reddish or mahogany color, and one that is in a sort of white oak color.

And the mirrored back is nice.


Prost!
Brad
