After several requests for a Custom Display Case that could not only protect but also display both sides of a model with total clarity and detail, I now offer the Custom Mirror Backed Display Case. With this case, I build it with the constructed edge design to whatever size requirements are demanded and place a 1/4" thick piece of mirror acrylic on the back side with clear everywhere else. This allows any viewers of a builders model to see all aspects of a model without having to remove the piece or uncover the model. This also keeps the possibility of accidental damage from dropping or mishandling to an impossibility. The cost is a little more than an all clear acrylic top, but for those who want to show off ALL of their work, it's a real plus.
Below is William Hawkin's model of the Bismark in a mirror display case.
The case you made arrived intact, no damage, and looks FABULOUS! Your project came off looking nothing short of PROFESSIONAL, and I really like the results! - William Hawkins
Again, Ron, I can't say enough about how pleased I am with your product, and I SINCERELY HOPE to place another order with you in the not-too-distant future. - William Hawkins
