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.

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

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.DSC01502.jpgDSC01503.jpg
