Hi all, I'm looking for a little inspiration for a way to display the following when completed.

All in 1/32.

Tamiya F-14
Trumpy MiG-29, SU-27 and A-10
Academy F-18 and F-16
And to finish a 1/24 Sea Harrier

I've searched the high street in the hope of finding some sort of display unit that will accomodate these monsters but to no avail. Will I need to build something with my pathetic skills or is there some sort of source i can go to to have one made. I'm hoping for something that i can have in a corner and can display them stacked vertically.
Any ideas welcomed

Greetings BigPete;
All of my kits are in display boxes built for me (because I would rather be building kits). by "Bill's Boxes." Good fellow and he ships.

Tell him I sent you. He is a good fellow. Here are some boxes he is building for me. Mine are entirely plexi even the bottoms. They are thicker and have a dado-ed edge all around to fit the cover edges. Measurements in inches.

width length height

1. 10.5 X 8 X 2 5/8 - $48.00
2 11.5 X 7.5 X 2 3/4 - $49.00
3. 9 X 7 X 2 7/8 - $36.00
4. 12.5 X 10 X 4 - $68.00
Plus 22.00 S & H
Tol = $223.00

I have the same problem. Fortunately, My son makes custom furniture. It is beautiful and very high end. The problem is even I can't afford his work.

I have the same problem and have considered doing something myself or "merging" several Trumpeter display boxes, but the "merging line" will be visible, so so far I have not done it. I simply leave them in the open to be attacked by dust, but I am still looking.
