    Hi all,
    I have some tin prints of a few pieces from Gil Elvgren. I think they are beautifully done, and fun.
    I was originally going to drill and nail them/stick them up with sticky pads, but opted for mounting them in a frame. Do you think it works ok?
    Ok for the man cave? :heehee:
    They are American pin up. Thumbnail so as not to cause any offence :blue thumb:
