New display cabinet
Posted: Tue Feb 02, 2016 11:55 am
I bought myself a new laser cut perspex (Z-gauge model train) cabinet, which is ideally suited to display Lesney/Matchbox and similar sized models. I got it from a specialized manufacturer and in ordering it you can choose between either a transparent rear panel, or dressed in black or mirror foil. I took a transparent one and covered it with my own grey-ish adhesive foil, which has a more neutral character.
The front panel slides into catches, sitting on the side supports and closes the cabinet hermetically.
The nett length is 75 cm, the 12 levels have a height/width of just under 4 cm. Depending on the size of the model, it can contain a max of 125. My calculation stopped at 110 of which about 80% repainted/restored.
I also made a facetube movie to show this display and some others.
As you can see mainly RW Rolls Royce models, even some SF's Motorman Alex
