It might fit in one of the 1/18 scale die cast car cases.

Ultra-Pro Football Display case, available online and at any good sports card store and at some local hobby shops.

Scorpitat pointed me to a great case that you can get at A.C. Moore (it's like a Michael's type of big craft supply store)

big enough for the Chariot and the pod for around 20 bucks

Yea, what Lou said........ Go to A.C. Moore, and find what you crave.

Sincerely,

Follow this link and you will find several sports display cases that start around $13.00 and go up from there.

Ultra-Pro Square Football Holder is a bit misleeding. The ends are square, 7 x 7 inches but the length is 11 1/4 inches-inside dimentions. At $13.00+ change...its a steal. (The circular ball mounts are molded into the ends, however I don't feel they take away from the display)

You can also get the Football displays at TAP Plastics http://www.tapplastics.com/shop/product.php?pid=302&

They're actually cheaper at the store than on-line.

If you are looking for something a little more custom you can go here,

Nice cases and outstanding service but they are not cheap.

I've been thinking about a case of some sort for the Seaview, with dust being the bane of display pieces... but it would have to be a damn big case.

I have a couple of display cases from these guys and know of several other very satisfied customers (with some really large cases) -

They are in SoCal, but the offer decent shipping or pickup if you are local. All of their cases are custom made and really rock.

I'll second Gene's Plexifab recommendation. I've used them on a number of occasions, and they do great work. They're easy people to deal with, they work fast, and their rates are very reasonable. For the sort of thing you're looking for, they're a terrific resource.

Big case? For Plexifab, that shouldn't be a problem...

Awesome! I believe I need about 6 or 7 of those!

Yowza! Those are big. I wonder if they ship to Ireland...

Probably, but I'd think the shipping charges would be astronomical.

Not to mention the risk of breakages!

Martin,

Why not go to your local plexiglass fab shop with a drawing of what you want? They should be able to fab something up for about the same cost as a store bought case ... without the shipping costs.
