Acrylic Model Display Cases Enhance and Protect Your Model Art

The display cases are made of a an optical grade acrylic that is crystal clear and of the highest quality. I only use solid oak for the bases, trim, and never use veneers or laminates. The customer benefits from fast production as I only need 5 to 7 workdays to produce any case order. The full acrylic cabinets are custom built and can be ordered with or without a beautiful oak base. Every case built is custom made to the exact size the customer desires and needs.
The clear top and sides are a minimum of 1/8" optical grade acrylic that are placed and formed to attain a very precise finished interior dimension. Customers use these acrylic covers to "exactly" fit over an existing base.

I design every display case with a look that provides smoother viewing and an overall better looking model display. For display cases under 40”, I use my bent edge style to add strength and rigidity while protecting the model art piece. If your display case is over 40”, then I use my constructed edge design which provides an equal amount of protection while enhancing the model art.
In the photo's above, you can get a sense of what the construction process entails. The long upper edges are actually bent and acrylic is affixed to the outside ends to complete a case. This involves heating the acrylic and using forms and jigs, creating the three sides of a case top. This works well with the routed edge oak bases used for mounting your models, as you can see. I will always try to get as close to your specs as possible, but there will always be a little variation in the finished size of the inside of your case. However, the acrylic upper will always perfectly match the base no matter which option you choose.
