I'm looking for half world globes that I can attach to plaques.

I haven't been able to find any.

Any recommendations?


Thanks!

How about engraving the Mercator projection onto acrylic?

I do that on a handful of products right now.

Actually that has been good for plates on
retirement shadowboxes. I give the client the
photo file and they mark the different areas
in the world that they served. I shows their
career quickly and is a nice addition to the box.

Since global mobility is what we do here I have
been "kicking" up the globe related products.

I like the idea of a half globe as it adds dimentionality
to a plaques, sort of like resin eagles to stand off the
plaque.

There are sooooo many sports related with globes in
the design of golf balls, soccer balls, baseballs etc
you think that since they already have the basic award
it would be easy to make a globe version.
