Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone purchased a display case for their model?
I'm looking into it now and some of the websites are charging £600+!
Can anyone recommend any places that will build one at a reasonable price or a DIY job?

Thanks in advance!

Steve

BigGrin Hi Steve

Most of the pre-made cases are as you say on the steep side but they can be made by yourself. There are some tutorials out on the web as well as some basic paterns that can be scaled up to fit. Most people use clear acrylic from your local DIY store instead of glass but aware that it can scratch easily so only use the correct cleaners recommended for acrylic products.
