Alan from the Duchy of Tradgardland made a comment that it would be nice if we could have miniatures of the medals we have either made ourselves or have been awarded by others. I have been pondering that for a while and finally made a try today. I copied the Ancient and Honorable Order of the Tankard from the Reichduchy of Beerstein blog and then opened my copy in MSPaint. I reduced it down to 5% of the original size, which is pretty darn tiny and then printed it on a laser color printer. Using a magnifying glass, I then cut out the miniature medal and glued it to the chest of my figure for Major General Campbell using regular PVA (Elmer's) white glue. Here is the result:
A close-up of Major General Campbell, OT
And a close-up of the miniature medal on his chest.
While it is not very discernable, you can still tell that a medal is emblazoned on the figure. I think it turned out very well. I'll cover it with some matte glaze to help keep it attached and to protect it.
