Display Case

According to Popular Science Magazine, sixty tons of cosmic dust falls on our planet every day. Up until discovering the inexpensive plastic model cases, I believe my models attracted an inordinate amount of cosmic dust or else I should have known better than to finish drywall in the same room as my displays. Regardless, once that new finish is hidden by dust, you can never restore that new look again. Aside from that, you run the risk of knocking off small parts, scratching the paint and packing the dust in cracks and crevices you worked so hard to include for realism. The 1/25 Plastic Model Car Display Case I'm reviewing here, for my purposes, usually allow me to include one car in a variety of positions and angles with enough room left to create an accompanying diorama. While the plastic model display cases attract dust, are easily scratched themselves, they also offer an opportunity to be more creative with your models by building small dioramas inside to go with the model displayed. Since I build a lot of historic stock cars, I'm able to recreate many different track conditions -- asphalt, Daytona sand and muddy, dusty dirt tracks. Most of the cases come with some stock backgrounds; however, I often create my own backgrounds using track photos and PhotoShop. As they say, you are only limited by your imagination and your models are protected from all the cosmic dust threatening them!
