Title: Looking where to get display cases for flat miniatures.
Post by: egonzinc on February 02, 2020, 04:05:21 PM

New to flat miniatures collecting, for now mainly WWI warbirds. Looking for a supplier of the nice frames you see in the images of this forum, that appear to have a slotted background and a glass front.
Looking to place some of my flat WWI warbirds in frames and display then as a picture frame.


Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Eduardo,

I use a homemade version of a 3D deep picture box. These are available from Amazon or a good craft shop.

You will also need foam board  ( thin sheet of foam covered both sides with paper ) and some self adhesive felt / velvet.

Cut the foam board to the same size as the inside of the box. Cover it in the felt/ velvet and cut slots in it for the figures. Attach it all to the back of the box and there you have it🙂

Hope this helps

Nicholas
