Display suggestions needed

Hi,

Here is the deal, as of now, I have approximately 8 finished cars that are sitting on a shelf in a bookcase. There's two problems with this: First, they get really dusty because they're sitting in the open, and dusting them every other week is becoming a pain, plus the dust keeps building up in small corners that I can't reach with a duster. Second, the shelf has no more space, and I am sure to add more in the future. So I need some cost-saving solution to display these things without running into the same two problems above. I have an awesome empty corner in my room that would be perfect for putting them all there, but I just need some contraption or something t put into the corners to put the cars into.

Are there any enclosed wall or corner shelves out there that are made of glass or other clear materials?

I was also pondering building what I want out of plexiglass or something, but I'm sure that would be very complicated and take a lot of time...

A cheap glass diplay case would be perfect though.

Do you have an Ikea near you, they sell great display cabinets to store your models in.

Re: Display suggestions needed

I wonder which of IKEA's cases are close to dustproof? Anyone?
