display cases?

[milminwh]

Greetings,
Any recommendations for display cases (hopefully wall-mountable) for painted figures? Looking for a glass case with 3-4 shelves with enough height between shelves to accomodate mounted 54-mm scale figures (also flag bearers), presumably about 6 inches minimum.
My wife is re-decorating & existing situation must change quickly!
Regards
John

Hello John,
There used to be a fellow who came to MFCA show who sold wall cases and would build them as well to your dimensions. I bought 5 of his wall cases and they were well built and I still have 3 of them (stored in garage now)

You might want to contact John Kuchar, who might know of someone in the New Jersey area who builds cases for figures.

Here is the link to some of the Planet member's display cases, and a couple of them are wall mounted.

Take a look at the link to display cases under suppliers on this site.

Jason--talk about synchronicity! I was actually wondering if there was an inexpensive source for glass dome display cases--and the link you provided did the trick! There is also a wealth of cool links & resources to be found there.
Thanks for the tip!

It's a useful site, if you register you get a monthly update of all new entries, about 50 usually.

I spent ages earlier this year trying to find a reasonably priced dome 12" x 6" for a 200mm figure but gave up in the end, there was more choice in the US but shipping and the associated risks would have been too high, In the end I made my own case.
