BC Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I bought this one nearly nearly 2 years ago. It is 33 inches long x 12 1/2 inches wide and 9 inches high. Not the cheapest of display cabinets but it is well made. The cost of it was about £ 90 but it came in a huge box and the courier charge was about £ 30. Anyway I wanted it so I bought it. I attach the link to their website http://www.modeldisplaycases.co.uk/contact.htm There is a chap called ( I think ) Dave Poole whop makes cabinates for Sue Leake on here. I'm sure Sue will have his contact details. I did try this chap but he was slow to respond to my email by which time I went elsewhere.

Leakeyvale Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) ... There is a chap called ( I think ) Dave Poole whop makes cabinates for Sue Leake on here. I'm sure Sue will have his contact details. I did try this chap but he was slow to respond to my email by which time I went elsewhere. Dave Poole wad seriously ill but is now up and running again. He will make boxes with clear lids any size you want from single model to sizes suitable for layouts. Mine are 30 x 60 cms with lids of varying heights. He goes around the southern toyfairs - Shepton and Kempton Park (and others) on a regular basis. Telephone is the best way to contact him 0117 9092 993 or 07944 37802 (After 7;00pm) email (think this is still valid) twiggott70@yahoo.co.uk Edited April 5, 2012 by Leakeyvale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) Argos have these free standing glass cabinets for around £200 delivered. Ive 2 side by side. Each cabinet would hold 50 tractors easy. They are good value & neat. Edited April 5, 2012 by justy 46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris.watson Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 anyone looking for a display case at the moment, these are £149 reduced from £199 at ikea. i got another one the same as one i already had, which is the one on the left. excellent for adding extra glass shelves. not cheap, but i give them 10 out of ten.
