Chris Jephcott Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) Chaps and Chapesses, I'm just the act of finishing my Academy 1/400 Centenary Titanic model - which has been keeping me out of trouble for the last 8 months or so. However, the trouble is that it just looks too good to have displayed on the side, collecting dust. So, I'm going to get a display case for it - especially given the Girlfriend has agreed to let me have this one on public display in the dining room (very rare indeed - I think she likes it a little bit!). With this in mind, would anybody have any recommendations? Ideally, dimension wise, I'd be looking at the following: Length: 30 inches (77cms) Width: 6 Inches (16cms) Height: 12 inches (31cms) So... if there are any recommendations for this, please let me know!! Also, if I was to order one directly, what would a sensible estimate of cost be? Very many thanks, Chris Edited June 28, 2013 by Chris Jephcott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar2 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Try www.acrylicdisplaycases.co.uk I've bought quite a few large cases from them and they've been pretty reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leighivansmith Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Hi folks - kinda following on from this thread... I shall be moving in the near future giving me more room to display my models. I am really after a cabinet rather than an individual case as I have a few to put out... Enjoying the 1/350 scale ships at the moment so it needs plenty of space - any suggestions? thanks, Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jockster Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Thanks Chewitt, that looks the business and better than I expected. And what, may I ask, is in your box? Looks American, your latest project or a future build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
