There is a place named "garage sale" near my house, my wife wanted to go into the store and look around and of course my "Modelers eye" caught sight of a display case for $75 he was selling..... It is 48" long by 17.5" deep and about 36" tall with three glass shelves inside. (Like the cases in Philips hobbies near the front door) It is now mine and Hello Kitty talked him into $60 for it! It will be perfect for the 1/350 ships I have! ;D

Well, it means there will be more 1/350 ships appearing since I have a protected space for them now. USS Washington, BB-56 is in progress at about 20% done. But first some stalled projects get finished.

congratulations, looks a nice display case... i know is hard to find the perfect one, and usually after you find it; is expensive, and then you are thinking to buy a customize one, also too expensive... any way... good buy....

Lucky you I have a display case that I cant use because I dont have the supports for the glass shelves, and the ones they sell at Lowe's or HD are too thick... I think I have to buy them from the factory or something. Well I hope to see those 1/350's

Jose, I also tried the ones from Lowes, they are too thick.... so with Gabriels help I went to "Farkas Store Fixtures" 660 10th Ave SD, CA 92101 Just take the 163 south when it ends it turns into 10th Ave, Farkas is on the right side just past Broadway St. They have the correct ones in the size you need, make sure you know how long you need, they start at 16" and go down 2" at a time. (I used 14" in my case that is 48" long and 18" deep, the 16" were too long) They cost me around $2 each bracket. Interesting store!
