discussion Display box

[Guest]

Hello all, as a family we've decided to go cheap so no ones asked for anything fir Christmas, so I've decided to make something instead for everyone!

My Dad quite likes to Red Arrows, which is handy as I've already built one of them to an OK standard, but I'd like to put it in a box to display in.

Can anyone think of a brick and mortar shop that might do such a thing, it's a 1/72 scale so not very large

What sort of box you after Mike ? I know a bloke who does all sorts of display cases at reasonable prices only thing is it might not get to you before Christmas

would lov to help out Mike but im on the wrong side of the world,

did you try to have a look in evilbay or would that get to you too late ?

or even try to Google ,trophy shops close by,as they would have that type of thing,

and even a glass shop could make one up,

Literally whatever I can get my hands on! I'm all over the place next few days so cant use post, so needs to be a shop I can walk into

Was thinking something with a basic cheap wooden base and a glass or plastic top. Was going to simply print out a photo of runway tarmac and glue that to the base, nothing fancy at all, but need something I can display it in, and more importantly, wrap!!!

Trumpeter makes some, and you can easily find them in hobby shops or online.
