Default Glengarry badge and HPC selection

Hi all,

A while back I decided I would not try and collect all of the HPCs but what to do with the ones I had as didn't like parting with them. So using an old oval potrait picture frame I mounted them on felted card and and they turned out ok. Put a couple of crowned glengarry versions to the centre just to give them a sense of focus. I should have got the spacings worked out better at the bottom but will blame paralex error of the photography!

Hope others find it of interest, cheers Dean.

A cracking job done there Dean,

Now you have it in front of you it should be quite straight forward to get another card and mark them out again, despite your lack of editing capability, it is still a stunning display ??

Dave.

Thanks Dave and yes the Easter and Anzac Day long weekends here are going to see some serious badge work. I have a few frames that I have restored and badges on card so just need to remember to putt my specs on, use a ruler and take my time.

You share the frame with me as many of these are the better for your repairs and re-lugging. Thanks for that.

Anna happy not another shoebox of badges !

Cheers Dean.
