Display cases
Anyone know of a good place to purchase display cases? I don't mean the single display cases as I can get those cheap at Wallmart... I'm looking for the large display type cases that can accomodate 8, 10, 12 or more 1/18th scale cars...
Cheers

Giavonni are great cases. I have several. The one that hangs above the race track here is made by a company in York PA. I would not go back to buy another one though. They did not listen to me and insisted that what they built the case with was adequate. It wasn't...the shelves sag just a bit.
Giovanni are the best but they do not do custom work. Another option are Billy Cases from IKEA. Very nice wooden cases with doors and a light with glass shelves.

I too need to find some nice curios for my garage. I need quite a bit of space for my 1:18 LeMans/ALMS collection.
This one at IKEA is sweet, but kinda pricey and only available in store. Ikea White Curio Cabinet

Thanks a lot...but please, call me Brian. Here is a better shot of the case. It is a wide open shelf but it is supported at the front where both doors close at.
