Display case

Post by ryan81 »

Hi guys, what does everyone use to display their models?

I build cars (1/24) and plan on a few bikes and want to display them in clear boxes. There are all kinds of different dimensions but I personally prefer not to stack on top of one another, rather next to each other. I guess what I'm trying to decide is whether to get individual cases (expensive) or cases that could fit 3-5 vehicles next to one another. I'm thinking individuals might look strange if they can't sit flush against each other

TIA!

I use the Ikea DETOLF. Relatively cost effective and can hold a decent about of models.

Thats a nice case! Sadly being in NZ, Ikea has not landed on our shores yet but is expected to be here in the near future! I'm sure I could find it online though
