Back in Christmas 2024 The family gave me a Memorial bear Trooper Jones reflecting The Australian Light Horse Regiment It was initially in a plastic box as below. As I had a military background and can build stuff I thought I could provide Trooper Jones with a more permanent display box . ferretting around in all the bits and pieces I have stashed away I found enough raw materials to do him justice
A display case capable of being opened from the bottom was my Idea that being having the ability to hide screws and reduce the profile of the edges. I milled up some triangular material and cut grooves in it to hold the perspex sides. with the skeleton of the box dry assembled I made an appropriate bottom Dry Fitted everything together including trooper Jones Happy everything would look OK I Inverted it and glued the top on then added the info sheet frame and screwed on the bottom on.
Why didn't I post it in May 2025? possibly forgot only to be reminded of my improvements after seeing Majuvla's the doll box Project.
And as a teaser in my kitchen is a parachuting bear too just waiting for the grandkids to see. Geronimo! Nothing like a little light humour! Death from above!
Yep one of the last remaining fluorescent lights in the house Its a T8 and reasonably attractive fitting and I have a couple of spare T8 tubes so it will stay a while
