    Default Display Cases?

    I'm up to about 40 some odd sabers in my collection now, and one day when I retire from Army life and settle down, I'd like to be able to display them all properly.

    Not all of them came with MR like cases or displays however, as most are custom pieces and from relatively obscure EU characters. Anyone know of where to have displays made?

    While we're on the topic, custom plaques would be nice to. Perhaps a picture of the character with a brief description of where they appear in the SW mythos, etc, to pair with the saber and display.

    Some fibreglass shop, or a plaque maker/somthing or other. Just look around your city.

    Hobby Lobby sells a great display case that comes with a mirrored bottom insert. It's just the right size for displaying saber hilts.

    Some places that specialize in plexi-glass and acrylic can actually provide some level of cutting and assembling for you too. I'm considering this for my custom and also want to make a custom carrying case. A hard shell case with padding inside. Like one for musical instruments.
