Well, I finally broke down and bought a rather large display cabinet for my models. Here it is: :)

Anyway, the doors are on the side, as are many cabinets like this. They do not filter the dust as much as I had hoped. There is about a 1/4 space around the perimeter of these glass doors where air and dust can get into it. Most of the cabinets I`ve looked at are like this. Those of you who have a display like this, what are you doing to dust proof? I was thinking about getting some type of rubber stripping with an adhesive backing, but I am having trouble finding anything like this.
Thanks

Why is there midget inside your display case holding a camera??? :)
Could you not use draught excluding tape (for windows and doors) around the seals between door and frame? If it keeps wind out of houses, it should keep the dust out too ....

Are you wearing pants?!! :D
As for the question, I would also look at self-adhesive foam stripes used for insulating doors and windows. Maybe a combination of foam and rubber? The foam ones can also be found in the stores selling car paints and supplies (manufactured by, e.g. 3M and used for transitions of old/new paint on cars).

Exactly mate: cheap glass from Ikea Sweeden proofed like Alex said, tape from hardstore.

I'm not sure what "it" is that Italians supposedly do better, but it doesn't seem to be housekeeping.
