Display Cases, for model cars and the like?

Where abouts in Canada preferably in Ontario can I get one? I want a place to keep my Rx7 collection nice and clean. Cleaning them weekly is really getting old.

I've dealt with these guys in the past and even partied with them in Montreal for F1. Ship anywhere and they're CDN. Custom stuff available too.

Thanks Jason! I needed a place to get some 1/12th scale display cases. Cleaning the models gets very tedious!

Too bad they don't have any prices to along with the type of cases they show....

Lates,

any hobby shop carrys nice plastic ones, infact wal-mart and zellers used to as well, I'd probably try there first.

I've got a model #17 Superflo camaro that's about 12 years old and hasn't been out of it's case in probably 10, and it is still shiny and nice.. the case still gets dusty though!

I want a vertical glass one, and Jasons link seems to be of the most assistance.

Just go to Ikea and buy a glass shelving unit with a door.

A friend used to have this one mounted to a wall with models in it.

Looked great, and has a light in it too!

Cheap too! I think they start at about $100 and the most expensive one they sell is something like $189 - and it's available in silver.

The one i'm looking at is 89 bucks, with light, should look freaking awesome, never thought of Ikea, because the closest one is 3 hours away.

That's the one I use to house all my rotary cars. The 1/12th scale cars don't fit as nice. It can be done, but it's not very elegant.

You need a big *** display case to house those suckers!

Thanks again for the link Jason....

Lates,

If you need something custom I'd be glad to help. My company manufactures high quality display cases as well as anything else that needs to be machined or fabricated from plastic.

Pricing for a typical model size case will be around $180.

We're located in Scarborough but we will be moving our manufacturing facility to Whiby at the end of August.

Grant.
