Hi guys, thought I would show some photos of a project I've been working on.
I guess they are educational, I hope they will generate some interest in the subject, and may encourage some new collectors.
I am hoping to take them to some shows and local events that come up from time to time, in my recently purchased military landrover.
I've included on the boards as well as inert examples, some info and pictures of the weapons the rounds are used in. I have not seen anyone else show examples in this manner before. Hope it works. In future hoping to make board explaining types of ammunition, this will just be info and pictures.

Now that is fantastic! I love the way that you have displayed your items there and I am sure that other members would agree. Your display boards look like museum displays. Thanks for showing.

Hello mach1bang,

Your cartridge display boards are spectacular. I'm a firm believer that a photograph of the gun that fires the cartridge adds so much to a collection! Very well done!

Best regards,

Hi guys, thanks for all your nice comments, it took alot of time and effort to create these boards.
I would like to have used more interesting or rarer examples, but one has to be aware of medaling hands. I have had the odd item stolen from a stall in the past, so cannot take the risk.
Cheers Tim.
 
Excellent job, very nice displays. I am sure they will be well recieved where ever you display them. I am working on some displays to be used in schools and youth groups to illustrate the hazards of some items that can be found in military training areas. Your idea is much nice than mine, I think I will have to borrow it.
 
I can't help but use the word "excellent" as many of the others have. It gives me ideas on what to do with some of my collection. Time being one of the concerns, though. Great job!! Cheers, Bruce.
 
Thats one of the best private displays I have seen in quite awhile. I look forward to seeing some more of your work.
 
Nicely done Tim
Obviously a lot of thought, time & effort - but the finished article looks well worth the effort.
 
Well done. I likeyour display boards. Collecting should be more than shoving items in a room, it should be both interesting and educational and you have achieved that. Keep up the great work.
