I wanted something to hold my medals but didn't want to shell out the money to get the actual thing(plus most of the ones I've seen are sold in a lot with medals and a driver and such), so I decided to make one of my own. I was at Walmart and found this cool CD holder that was a little bit bigger than I wanted, but still worked.
I cut out the CD pages and then cut some foam sheets to fit in and then cut out slots for the medals. Since the foam was just sheets, I had to cut out many many medal slots and then stack the sheets. After everything was cut, I glued it all together. It's not perfect, but I'm very proud of it. The Core Medals I had customized a couple days ago, I simply opened them up and applied a coat of silver with a Testors enamel paint marker. Factoring in the time used on the medals as well as the case, it all took about 8-9 hours in total.

Nice!
Wait, you used a paint marker, you didn't spray paint the coins? Did it take a long time to do? I was planning on spraying them, cuz I thought that would be faster, and easier. |

Spraying them probably would be faster and easier, but I chose to do it with the paint marker since they're different kinds of silver. The one I used is more shiny than spray paint. It probably took a about a couple minutes per medal, not too long. Plus I did it while watching stuff on my laptop.

I think I have a silver chrome spray can, though it's probably 5 years old, may not be good anymore. But I may try it out.

Where did you get these sheets of foam? I've been looking everywhere, but I can't find them anywhere.
