Cool idea Rick!
Mike have you tried any used store fixture stores for display cases
/
OR The habitat for Humanity stores. The last case I got from them for $100.00 And it now holds my diecast.

I'm looking for a mostly glass case and it can't be over 40 inches wide but no limit to height. We were out Tuesday looking. Just not a priority.

A few of my friends have picked up some very nice store displays & put the models in. they are very nice with glass front & top, glass shelves. They are usually wired for lights & have access from behind. big department stores have these in the perfume & jewelry sections. Rick |
