You did it! You built a model ship, maybe even with your son or grandson, and it is magnificent. It is definitely worthy of display on the mantle or a table of its own so it can be easily admired. It will surely be a great conversation piece. But you don’t want too much handling or accummulating dust to ruin hours of detailed work. A quick internet search reveals the hundreds of dollars a nice, glass display case will cost.
We have the answer! You built your ship, why not build your own display case. We can show you how in an easy step-by-step guide!

I followed your instructions and found them quite easy to follow.
