My New PR Display

[yt]

So I was wondering around Kmart the other day and I found this:

And since my Pulse Rifle and VP 70 have just been laying under the bottom of my display for the last 2 years I was very excited to finally find a simple way to display them. ($4.99)


I wasn't sure that the pegboard would support the weight of the PR so I whipped up some extra 3/4" plywood I had left over from another project and spray painted it black. I drilled pilot holes and mounted it directly to the wall studs.

(Man do we need to clean that part of the house.... :$ )


I screwed in a couple of all purpose hooks, spraypainted black and added a couple of peg board clips also painted black ($1.29, 2 @ .79), added the great plaques I picked up off a board member here http://www.therpf.com/index.php?showtopic=116993&hl=
and whooolah:

There are a few things I need to tweak, mainly leveling out the PR, but for $7.80 I am real happy and best of all, I got my $900 worth of props off the floor.

That works really well. I have seen some displays of the PR that either make it look small because the background piece is so large, or the PR looks huge because the background piece is too small... this fits perfectly.

Nice, cost effective display option.

Looks good and a cheap way to do a display, but what if u break up the squareness of it heres a photoshop of what im talking about,

That's pretty good, I'll be looking out for something similar over here in the UK. A friend of mine's used pegboard for years to display his bayonet collection, he says it's not as common as it used to be.
Maybe he can look forward to it making a comeback.
If/when I get the materials/time/impetus to do something similar, I reckon some sort of metallic edging would put the cherry on the cake.

A sweet, affordable solution. Wonderful. Very creative.

And I like the photoshopped suggestion as well. Looks very cool.

You can pay through the nose for some display cases or display boards. It's always nice to see someone use innovation to make a cost-effective yet very presentable piece such as this. Well done. :thumbsup
