Acrylic Display Case

The function of art is to do more than tell it like it is â€” it's to imagine what is possible.

This affordable acrylic display case is designed with miniatures and figurines in mind. Built with a strong acrylic frame and sturdy shelves, you can hang this case on the wall without having to worry about your miniatures being obscured by unsightly frames or hidden in the shadows. The use of all acrylic and polycarbonate hardware ensures that your view remains unobstructed.

Each of the 4 shelves are approximately 4 1/2" tall and 5 1/2" deep, giving you plenty of room to place your minis and remove them with ease. Affordably priced at $74.99 each, you can now proudly display your miniatures collection and still have easy access to them for gaming.

Features:

1/4" Acrylic used for case sides and shelves. By using material that is thicker than most we have eliminated many of the bowing and sagging problems that have been found with acrylic cases.
1/8" Acrylic case door. Thinner material used for the door reduces the weight and stress placed on the acrylic hinges, thus reducing door sag.
Over 350 square inches of shelf space.
Acrylic hardware.
Approximate dimensions: 16 3/4" wide x 19 1/4" tall x 5 3/4" deep.
Made in the USA.

Better "Paper" Models

Paper models can be very useful, but even with thick card stock - they don't tend to be very durable. If I have a paper model that I want to modify or use a lot, I make it out of sheet styrene (plasticard).

Print the model out like normal and than you can either glue the pattern on the card or use carbon paper to transfer it to the card. Cut out the parts and glue it up. Ignore the fold lines - it is normally easier to just glue the edges together than to try and get a good fold with the plastic. Also, the tabs are not needed either.

You can use various epoxy putties to add additional details and also use normal plastic model parts or scraps of styrene. Prime and paint like any other plastic model. The end result is very durable and will last a lot longer than paper models getting the same amount of use.
