Picked up a FOOTBALL acrylic display case from MICHAEL'S crafts & hobby store today for $30, normally $50 -- they are having a 40% off sale...not sure how long it lasts, but if you want a nice display case for your Chariot, or anything the size of a football, this is a pretty good deal -- you'll have to remove the plastic oval "ball" rest on base, but it comes off easily with a screwdriver and a little elbow grease.

I'll try to posts some pics soon -- I wanted a case for this because I imagine it would be a bear to dust it without risking knocking off antenna or other little stuff that sticks off the exterior.

Michael's employee said sale ended last night -- but then I saw in their Sunday newspaper insert this morning that all display cases are still 40% off, so prices should be good for another week -- but just a heads up, the two Michael's in my area (Louisville, Ky) only had two or three of each case in this size, unless they have more in the back, I have no idea if they have backroom stock. I picked up another case last night for a Bladerunner Spinner model I am working on.

The one I got is called Acrylic Sports Case and is 7 inches tall by 11 inches wide by 7 inches deep.

They also had some simialr size but had a black frame around case and a mirrored back wall --- similar price, I believe, but I prefer the case with no frame on clear portion.
