Does anyone know of a place (or does someone here actually make) custom acrylic cases? I wanted to have one made for my 1/16 Tiger 1
The largest I have found were for Footballs and Basketballs.
This may sound a little funny Eric … but talk to a pet store about custom aquariums. Give them the size you need and see if they can do it for you.
P.S. Leave out the water [oX)][:-,]
LOL Robert. That sounds like a good idea.

That’s a nice looking Tiger. Check out JMK Displays. I’ve had them build up several acrylic lids for me and can recommend them highly. Their workmanship is first rate and I didn’t think the price was out of sight. They are out of New York and the cases I received, in Florida, were packed by professionals and arrived without any dings.
You could check with a place that sells ship models, they probally have some large ones. I have seen some pretty god size wood and glass ones at Micheals as well.
Thanks for the compliment!
I looked at the website and the prices seem pretty reasonable (compared to others I have looked at for customs)
Will place an order with them.
Thanks!
Even if it is expensive erock, I think you owe it to yourself and the Tiger, considering the amount of time and effort you put into it, and as damn impressive as it is, to provide it with a suitable case. Throw a pin spot on that beast and you will have a very impressive and prestigous display.
Let us know how you do with the supplier.

lol sherman thats exactly what I use, fliped my old one upside down while cleaning out the garage a few months ago, and I went HEY! this is just what I need!, and it worked great since.
Hey with that awesome job you did on the kit why don’t you make your own case. Like you i wanted to put my aircraft in cases but of course that was almost impossible. FSM ran a piece on making your own cases and it was perfect for me. All you really need is some Plexi-glass a long straight edge and a special cutter for this stuff. I use 1/8 inch cause it is the easiest to cut . Well done on the kit.
Hey bilbirk, What ISSUE??? I could really use thta Info
Erock: If you have a wife , just toss her china out of the hutch ,… that tiger is way better to look at anyhow , that baby needs lighting on it as well ! VERY nice job man ! [bow] Have ya given it a test run yet ?
It was the November 2001 issue (which was a really good issue).
hey guys, i can’t find a nov 2001 issue around here so i want to ask how to attach the plexi-glass with each other? is there any special type of adhesive?
