Something to think about in this direction based on my own experience. many years ago my brother picked up a garage display counter from a place that was being refurbished. It is simply a large glass case with a couple of shelves in it that was used for a counter in the garage as well as a display area for some of the bits and bobs on sale.

It makes you think that shop display stuff is actually quite a usefull idea for showcasing models so it is well worth keeping an eye on places that might be selling off such stuff. Second hand furniture places and the like are well worth a browse every now and then as well as auction rooms and business clearances. A lot of retail outlets renew display stuff every few years so there are usually such items kicking around and of course perfect for displaying your models in.
