Believe it or not, this is my only actual shadow box, I tried type set trays, but my stuff is always a little bit too big! Anyway, lots of wacky stuff in there from all over. It looks good on the wall, which is what matters most!

Can't name everything but I have a few of the same items: the plastic man on motorcycle bottom corner, one of the Barclay cars and even the plastic windup robot on the right... and a few other items feel familiar. Yeah, typesetter trays are great but not for everything.
