A glass or acrylic display cases for model ships

 
You have options for the frame of our glass or acrylic model ship display cases. Some cases have corner pillars that are crafted with the wood or other the frame material. If you prefer not to have the wood frame around the sides of the glass, display cases are available without a corner pillar. This option is often chosen when an unobstructed view of wooden boat models is desired.
 
Display cases are available with a variety of features to suit your requirements. A glass display case with internal lighting is a great way to draw attention to your wooden boat models and show the intricate detail. Another popular option is a mirrored back or base to show the reverse or underside of the ship models.


Our wooden yacht model cabinets for sale in the UK are available with or without adjustable glass shelving, and with locking doors, internal lighting, and other options.

You can browse the display cases on our website to get an idea of the size, designs and materials that are available and see examples of the cases we have built for collectors, cruise lines, and maritime museums. Please contact us to request a quote for an acrylic or glass display case for your collection.

We offer a handmade quality model display case, glazed in acrylic with framework in Tulipwood or MDF to your own dimensions, for you to stain – paint – or finish as you require.
 
Tulipwood is the yellowish greenish wood yielded from the tuliptree. The wood is very light but very strong and is used in many applications, including furniture, joinery and moulding. It can also be stained & polished very easily and is often used as a low-cost alternative to walnut, cherry & mahogany in furniture making.  
 
The choice of colors for the base suede are, Light blue - Royal Blue - Bottle Green - Scarlet - Black. Or it can be left in plain mdf should you wish to finish the base yourself for a diorama or rail track etc.  
 
The model display cases are flat pack (which helps to keep down the cost of p&p) and they easily assemble to form a sturdy structure.

This glass shows construction without  corner pillar.       A typical self-assembly case for
      display whether for railway or maritime exhibits. 
 
This type of construction allows for easy cleaning and for those who require an uninterrupted view of the contents can be constructed without corner pillars.
 
These showcases are supplied flat packed, ready for easy assembly (no tools required) - you simply slot the glass panels into the top and bottom frames to produce a rigid structure, the top panel being removable for access.
 
This method of construction allows easy replacement should you unfortunately break a glass panel, something that would be difficult with a conventionally constructed case.
 
Being flat packed enables us to deliver these cases worldwide without the transport handling problems and breakages associated with fully assembled glass cases.
The interior of the base can be in quality jeweller's suede with a choice of colours (see quotation form), samples are available on request, or in matching timber. There is also the option of having a mirrored back or base should you wish to view the reverse or underside of the contents.

Self-assembly cases can be made to virtually any size and glazed in standard float glass, laminated safety glass or UV filter acrylic to prevent fading of exhibit.
