r/modelmakers on Reddit: Custom display case
January 31, 2020 -
You guys have made some Great models. I am currently Building a Ship myself. (75x30x45cm)
I want to put it in a nice clear case so that it stays clean and Nice. The Ones sold online are very expensive though, any thoughts on how to get a cheap One or how to build One?

You can usually get glass or perspex cut to size cheaply, or particularly with perspex it's easy to cut yourself. 3mm thick in either is common. Perspex is a good option as lighter than glass and a bit easier to work with. Both can be joined with clear silicone or you can get timber for a frame - either square stock and route 3mm channels or you can get L profile and glue the glass/perspex inside. Them fit to a wood base.

I made my own display case out of clear and mirrored acrylic sheets. I managed to get the sheets for cheap from a local company that also cut them to size for me. As for building it, I followed this guide and it turned out alright for me.

Make Them Wonder: DIY Acrylic Display Case
The basics: Drill holes, the size of the screws, in each corner of the plexiglass. Push screws through each hole and lay flat. Arrange wood pieces on one piece of plexiglass then slide the second piece of plexiglass down over the screws bringing it down to lay on top of the wood.

r/DIY on Reddit: Assemblying a large plexiglass display case
February 9, 2025 - I live in a very dusty environment and all my lego sets tend to build up lots of dust after just a few weeks, therefore I started looking into plexiglass display cases. However, the custom made ones I found are wildly expensive (often more than the sets themselves), but it's just 5 panels of transparent plastic assembled in a simple shape.

Building Your Own Display Case/Stand | Ships of Scale
July 22, 2021 - I'm curious if y'all build your own display cases or buy them. Buying seems hugely expensive, but making one doesn't seem easy. If you make your own, do you use glass or acrylic? Thanks! Rich ... Hi Rich, I would say that most kits will come without stands or a very basic stand made of plywood, MDF, or plexiglass (rare).
