Posted: Wed Aug 31, 2016 3:27 pm Post subject: Presentation case/display |
|
|
So I've settled on a nice presentation case for displaying my Coyle Worldcon blaster (now complete), here I'll document the steps as I go in constructing it. In order to save time and resources, I'll be using off the shelf components as much as possible.
Today I whipped up some graphics/stickers for the mock case of rounds I'll include inside the case, and attached them to a test box I made:
There are also some random stickers I've made for the case pictured as well. I think the stickers for the ammo box are good to go, will have to find one of those small cardboard boxes at a craft store to use to get it looking 100%.
Should have the case proper tomorrow, then the hunt starts for hardware, handles etc. Looking to make this into something that looks like a "working" presentation case, something that would get carried around and used to store the pistol. |

I love watching projects develop and I always have a soft spot for cases / boxes. Can't wait to see further pics of this work in progress. |

Finished ammo box. It's not as deep as it should be, but in a display there won't be any way to tell. |

Created a user manual to go in the case with the pistol;
Applied a bit of oil and dirt to give it that "lived in" look. |

My very own, original "SONIC SHOCK" ammo label from your friendly Tyrell Corp. They make the replicants, they make the bullets to kill the replicants; talk about vertical integration!!!
Feel free to use anyone if you would like to make your own ammo cases. |

Really sweet! I love these kinds of projects.
You've got me brainstorming here for more ideas.
How about a sales receipt?
Warranty card?
My old S&W m29 had a cleaning rod in the case.
Some of my guns have promotional materials - patches, stickers etc. |
