Looks good and not a bad price too, only problem is that it wont be dust proof so the displayed cars will still need cleaning

Hi All

The cabinet has now been sealed with a bead of silicon around the back sides, top and bottom.

My local Aladin's Cave has provided a 1 inch wide black plastic strip that has sealed the front door opening this has been fixed to the frame so the glass door when closed makes the seal.

Not a bad result for an outlay of around £100 that with a little thought on how to improve the basic cabinet gives a display that will hold Five 1/12 models and room for background/dio enhancements that will fit each individual shelf.

As a comparison the average acrylic 1/12 case is around £40 so five cases = £200 and they look pants stacked on top of each other.

Of course if you live in a mansion with 200 rooms space will never be at a premium but for most of us I think this is a compromise even SWIMBO maybe might find acceptable.

I have one of these cabinets, but in white.

But with a little mod.

1st mod I sealed the back up, and then added some draft excluder (the furry kind) to the door opening so the unit is sealed.

2nd mod brought some wire clamps and added them to the down bars to add more shelf's, and also some acrylic sheets.

So now my cabinet has 8 shelf's

Total cost cabinet £40, clamps £5, sheets £20
