And Finally the display case Step 1) Buy the wood, I went for some nice Oak Step 2) Cut to size and shape using my Table Top saw,Compound Mitre Saw and Router Step 3) Assemble various parts (Hoping I have measured correctly) Step 4) Clean glass and mirror backing. Step 5) and relax Whilst I can cut wood to size glass is another matter so I leave this to the experts at my local glass-works. As the Model will be standing against a wall I decided to use a 4mm glass mirror as a back to the display. That way both sides of the model can been seen from the front. I will be using some wax polish to finish off the cabinet GilShapley attached the following image(s): Current Build:-
