Joel Labow sent us a few pictures of his trains in two Grandpa's Cabinet's acrulyic display cases.
We've been building a varierty of display cases for all types of customers...not just model ship builders. Don't these traings look great!


One of our customers took some photos of his USS Missouri in a Grandpa's Cabinets custom display case. In his own words:
I finally got around to taking some photos of my USS Missouri in your awesome display case. It looks great!
The model was about 5 yeas in the making. Now it has its due place on the wall and looks fantastic thanks to you. I don't get tired of looking at it and I get plenty of compliments. I don't think the pictures do it justice as far as how really good it looks mounted in the case.
Thanks again Ron, Fantastic workmanship!

Below is a beautiful wood sailing ship in a custom display kit that measures 40" long x 30" tall x 10" wide.I also made the custom cradle and oak plaque that the customer used to mount an engraved plate.

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
