I had a bookcase that I put some of my models on, in them plastic display boxes. I really didn't like the small plastic display cases...they took up room and you still had to clean them!
So I measured out the front and bought some inexpensive thin ply plexiglass and some plastic clips and viola!...much better  . You can hardley see the glass! I have more put away in boxes that need some minor repairs...I still will use the top clear of the cases for "platforms" and room for another models under them!     Oh...My loyal companion..Starr....he's a pure English Setter...his eyes are brighter than this...he's just giving me that "look"

That's funny you should mention that, I did the exact same thing this weekend so I would have more room for models as well. $30 for bookcase and $30 for the plexiglass.

THAT LOOKS GREAT! ! ! ! ! ! !
I have been thinking about the same thing. . and making a wall. . . .(I don't know where to put it. . but out of 1X6 wood and Plexi on both sides. but some of my builds are wider that 6" so I might have to go 1X8 . .. .
Where are the rest of your builds?
but that is down the road!

Bumping old threads, sorry.
That's a great idea !! I've been trying to decide between looking for cheap individual piece cases or whether I wanted to make a glass door for a big shelf I have. This might just do the trick, I need to price some plexiglass. I guess those are mirror clips ?

Jerry, I'm really digging those billboards utilizing the members names. Did I miss this at some point or was it hidden waiting for somebody to notice? In any case, it's very cool and I liked the creativity of it. Thanks for sharing your displays, it's very cool.
