	Was wondering if any of you have any ideas for displaying 1:18 models. I’m after a bookcase style one to hold say 20-25 models Asking as I can’t see anything pre made that has shelves wide enough . All seem to be 9cm which is too narrow for my requirements. I would like between 12 and 15cm depth The models I have are mostly UT and Ottomobile. I reckon I can make my own up for about £75-£80 in materials (with Perspex front). Anyone seen or got anything pre made they can direct me towards? Cheers

	I have a friend with a ridiculous number of die cast models. He is a very big fan of Ikea display cases - there are many to chose from and he likes the uniformity.

	I have two bespoke cabinets made a few years ago for my 1:18 scale models. They hold around 15 each side on with glass sheves and glass frontage. The front is held on with strong magnets and a lip at the top in order to remove the glass frame front. The case is also slotted at the top in order to slide onto a fixed baton on the wall for easy removal. In all the years I have owned it NO dust has ever settled inside allost to the point it’s hermetically sealed! I did have an Ikea case prior to this but the dust inside was a nightmare if you wish to look after the models.
