| Display Case Instructions
As promised
first obviously you need to work out the size you want mine was 36" x 12" x 12"
Pop down your local Homebase and buy 2 sheets of crystal acrylic sheet then go to the wood mouldings section and purchase 12 ft of right angle wood moulding mine was 1/2" x 1/2" x 8ft x two. If you havent got one i really recomend you purchase a sheet cutter or p-cutter to cut the acrylic this gives you really nice straight lines once your ready cut the acrylic for the top of your case. Then cut the mouldings for eac side of the acrylic top. Now you can use silicon but i prefer a hot glue gun. Glue the mouldings to the top sheet of acrylic, it will then be ready for the sides and end sheets. When you have cut your sheets for the ends and sides, glue each one to the right angled inner face of the top section mouldings cut mouldings for the four corners and run a bead of glue down each of the inner sides and press into place at each corner, making sure that the acrylic is straight and at right angles to each other. This will make the case fairly rigid. once dry turn over and heypresto one clear case for you to display models under. I used the mouldings as edging for my base and the whole case just slotted in. If any one wants plans email me and il send them
