Large scale display cases???

Hawk312 · #1 02-10-2003, 12:55 PM

I am looking for display cases for my 1/12 scale Camaro and now my 1/12 scale Corvette. Does anyone know where to get these or if anyone makes them? Thanks.

Wow, now me, i could use a 10 Gallon that i have , cause its not in use right now... OR if i was "p-man" i would have to use a Much larger fish tank.. more like a 75 Gallon!!!

I think thats a great idea , i will have to try that out soon! THANKS!

A 1/12 vette would be more interesting to swim around than a few platic plants and a castle:finger:

Fish tanks are for Sting Ray's and Mako Shark's!

HI, Well what i've done to display my kits is ....
I went to home depot and bought their lexan sheets. I cut them to the size i want them, and glue them together with apoxy. I don;t have a base for them because i just laythem on a shelf and then put the newly created lexan box on top of them.

Looks nice and sharp. Not as expensive as the ones online because a big sheet is about $9 and i've gotten 3 displays out of it.

The only problem is that they do attract dust, so i just sprayed and wipped them with this "antistatic" liquid that i had laying around my house. Its supposed to keep your TV and monitor clear of dust. It works but i still have to occasionally wipe them down with the green dust collector.

I'll take some pics as soon as costco delivers my cameras

Thanks
