Do you guys use display boxes for finished models ??
I would like to have a small diorama in my office at work - but wouldn't want it to be covered in dust within a week.
Any advise on display boxes ? What do you use (if any) ?

Hej Jan
I don't have any display boxes yet, but contemplate on buying some of these.

I have bought various kits at Evers toy store. Fair prises and fast delivery.

I have two display cases; I keep the rest in a special box made for Christmas ornaments. I'll be moving a lot in coming years, so it's better if they're already packed up.

I buy acrylic plastic to build my display cases. Any reputable plastic supplier (I go to Tapp Plastics in NorCal) will cut the plastic and polish the cut edges. They can sell you the cement to assemble the acrylic plastic. My supplier taught me how to put my first case together and it has been downhill ever since. It is NOT rocket science to do this by yourself.
