Couldn't get the older camera to work , so couldn't take any low-light pictures...so here's daylight pictures, reflections and all!
More pictures will follow the list...

Castaways (I think this was an ooooooopsie-doodle! Sometime after constructing the display we found another, similar, swizzle stick. On the back it mentions some state other than Nevada ...starts FL... )
Riviera
Aladdin
Dunes
A picture of the back, you can see where I've stitched the swizzles on the board using nylon thread (and every time I started a new thread, I taped down the end of the old and the end of the new, to keep the tension!):
And one thing I forgot to mention in the "tutorial" , I used sticks from the craft store...probably 1/4" square, colored black with a marker, glued around the edge on top of the foam-core board, to give space between the glass and the frame. Have fun making a display of your own!
