Hey guys, I had a stroke of genius the other day regarding the overall size of the finished model I printed off a 1/8 scale plan of the car and pasted it into a storage container This way when I finish a part, I can put it into place of where its gonna end up I think it looks good too, seeing the car come together! Just thought I'd share this, I've attached an image to make it clear what I'm talking about!

I've been doing much the same but taking pictures after each delivery. Then i got a display case to put it all in rather than fiddling about with ordering it each time! The below pictures are what i currently have! File Attachment(s):  Case.jpg (1,419kb) downloaded 102 time(s).

SWB? Sorry im fairly new to models. I think i'm alright with the sizings as Deag gave us the length then worked out the width from what we've got and worked out the height is about double the wheels. It should fit nicely with any luck!

Just have an active mind! That display case looks the part, did you make it yourself or was it made to order?

Hi Ian... >>>Made to order. Least if it is wrong i've got a few 1/18's which will happily fill it!<<< I would love to know what company you got the display case from as it looks great and would like to build a car next and diplay in a case as good as that one you have ? best regards, Ian Ian Builds in progress: E-type, HMS Victory, HMS Endeavour, HMS Soverein of the Seas Wish list: Bentley Blower http://forum.model-space...spx?g=posts&m=30439

I thought the same warthog, it does look a bit short but hopefully it will be fine for Ian. Fingers crossed Ian.

The inside dimensions are L640mm x W300mm x 200mm. I gave a bit extra in terms of size just to make sure, Plus i've got a 1?43 scale to go inside with it! I got the case from http://www.modeldisplaycases.co.uk. The guy is really good as well!

I have a few cases I made with a couple of 1/12th in so I'll wee if they are good enough and make a few more..
