Easy peasy grenade display.

Got 3 of these acrylic display stands off ebay the other day and cut a hole in them with a hole cutter and they make the perfect display stand for my 3 grens. I made the labels myself but i think i will do a nice stamped metal tag and rivet it on just for that 'industrial' look (one of the grens is a section i havent finished yet)

loads of examples here, i might get some stepped ones as my collection grows

I agree, acrylic stands are nearly always a valuable help for proper displays.



This is my (closed) WWII fleet carrier collection for example.

thats really nice way you have those displayed. the acrylic allows the light to carry if you know what i mean!

I have found something thats almost perfectly sized for displaying 6 to 8 mills or other grenades, its a Habitat mug stand, it can hang on the wall or be free standing. I intend to layer the shelves on mine (which i got in oxfam for 2.50) with some mirrored perspex with a hole drilled in it to seat the mills in, then cover the front with a clear perspex sheet (maybe)

here is some pics of the mug stand

I got the local glass centre to cut me some mirrored glass 95mm by 290mm for the shelves for a tenner

Close up of the cutaway just for the hell of it, i made it
