It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Those are very nice and have such fine detail.

    Great examples of those.

    Those don't look like modern bed medals to me... but they are very cool! I like the 3rd one.

    They were made in the 60s.

    (sorry to confuse) Its "bed" in the title that caught my eye. image The fourth one is interesting... looks like a guy giving himself a purple-nurple...

    except for the flying eagle, i think they are not that well done.
    sure they look "nice", but that is not good enough for me.

    I agree with fc ... and I love medals!

    At first blush these are visually arresting, but when you look closer, many of the individual elements range from cartoonish to poorly drafted to downright disturbing. And I don't think James Longacre or George Morgan would be impressed with those "tributes" to their work!

    Wow. Those are truly awful.
