Re: Need Help - Chachapoyan Temple Block Display

So, I went to Michaels store today and found a glass football case that worked perfectly. And for only $30!

It has a small plastic piece to suspend the block in mid-air, as well as a mirrored background.

I've been looking around since I posted this and it seems like a football, helmet, or basketball display might work well for this. I'll have to take the block in to determine if it'll fit.

It's certainly a nice looking jacket.

If it is 19 years old, I'd be surprised, based only off the fact that it looks in way better condition than my three-year-old jacket. Maybe they never wore it?

If I take into account modern ideas of carrying a pistol, I'd say he had at least a backup set of six rounds in his Mark VII. If he traveled, I'd say he would bring a box, at most. Like you said, he never really got into full-blown gun battles, so a box on a long trip would be enough.
