Create a Display Cradle for a Game Prop

A display cradle gives a prop a home without forcing it to rest on fragile controls or painted edges.

Test the angle with cardboard blocks first and view the prop from normal shelf height.

Support the structure instead of small surface details. A shaped recess or two padded arms can hold the object securely.

Check that the prop can be lifted out without scraping the finish. A good cradle protects the piece and shows its best angle.
