An interesting DIY project, and one that complements a fond memory of a childhood movie. Nice job making a display frame!
I've read that one of the most labor-intensive parts of collecting is creating a proper and secure way to display and properly preserve the pieces.
I remember reading things that surprised me, and (in some cases) seemed a bit exaggerated. Like the case of a collector who placed his item on a stand in a fish tank, which was vacuumed out, and then filled with inert gas to prevent oxidation or any damage from exposure to air.
Seeking to learn a little more about the subject, I found that this type of display frame is classified as a 'shadow box frame'. You can read more about it at: https://artisticblossom.com/diy-art-frames/
Example of Shadow Box Frame.
You are right... It is a Shadow Box frame. Doing this project was a labor of love for his mom. She spent 6 hours on her day off from work putting this together for him.
He will enjoy having this on the wall for his friends to see.
