Hi everybody! Just wanted to find out how you store/display your podms? I have quite a few now that id like to display but have no idea how. I hear the majority of people hear rage on about 'Michaels' Shadow boxes, but sadly im from the UK and we dont have that here I dont think. Anyone else got some good ideas on display options?
 
Hi lbrown,

This is a long shot, but if there's any U.S. military bases (Or ANY military bases), sometimes they have specialty stores that make similar products of shadow boxes. I know every military base that I've been on someone does shadow boxes. I bet if you can find your way on a military base and visit a px (Post exchange), that might be a good start?

I'm in the military and I need to get some shadow boxes started, it's just not my priority right now lol.
 
I have bought 2 lamps and stuck my podms on the lamp shades. I just don't turn the light on for very long so it doesn't heat the cells up
 
you can get shadow boxes at The Range here in the UK, I have quite a few for my pins but I've not framed any PODM's that way. I'm pretty certain that if you check out the showing off forum people have posted pictures of how they've framed PODM's with lights behind that you can switch on and off so as to be able to enjoy the scenes just don't ask me how its actually done!
 
Mine are in a Shadow Box on there original backer cards ... no backlight ... very simple compared to most others.

The way I do it is a little weird, I only know one other person that does it this way. I bought like, a modern rectangular lamp and just put my pins on it. Heres a pic.
