Cartridge displays

[Caveman Jim]

I deprimed and removed all powders from more than a few cartridges of various calibers. My plan is to make a cartridge display to gift to my son. He will ETS from the CG after 20 years of service in May in Kodiak, Alaska.

To show my appreciation to those who graciously donated to my project I'll give you each 20% off any brass from my classifieds!

I've got a good start and a few ideas but have some questions for the those out there that have experience making them. It will not be a complete set but that's ok. Most of these cartridges have a nice patina to them and I'm thinking of making it with that in mind.
Also, as you can see, I'm missing more than a few bullets and wondering where I might be able to pick those up from.Thoughts?



UPDATE!

Well boys and girls, Ole caveman has been chomping at the bit to get back out in the shop and put together the brass and bullets that I have in my grubby hands and to make a list of what I don't have.

Here's the bullets I need:

Rifle:
25-06, 38 Rem, 444 Marlin, 475 Bishop, , (2) 270 WSM & 270, 6mm, 6.8 SPC, 7mm Mauser, (2) 8mm Mauser, 264 WIN Mag, 280 Rem, 30-30, 300 WSM, 375 RUMag, 338 Marlin EXP.

Pistol:
35 Rem, 41 Long Colt, (2) 44 Mag & 44SPL, 44-40 Win, 7.5 FK, 7.62TT.

If there are any other calibers that y'all can think of that I should include in this display, please chime in.
And as always I appreciate all of your experience and generosity in this matter.

Thanks, I'm good on making the actual display case but the bullets with patina are mainly what I'll be searching for.
I'll get a list made up soon.

I've been saving normal and oddball stuff for years with the thought of a cartridge display. As of now they are just loose rounds.

Almost 2 years ago…. Should have dated it

If your friend wants any advice on resin stuff, my wife is very helpful within that community: https://www.curiocultresinshoppe.com/

I'll have to ask which Facebook groups and all - I haven't touched bookface for almost a decade now.

Do you want a 351 Winchester? Or is your display too good for an obsolete old worn out cartridge? If you want I'll send you one.
