Models under Glass

Are there any detrimental effects to keeping models in glass or plastic display cases? Should they be ventilated in any way?

If the paint hasn’t had time to sufficiently gas out, then you might have a problem. However, if you’ve let the paint dry fully, you shouldn’t have any trouble.

yes, i would suggest small vent holes made in the base to allow heat build up to escape and also do not place in direct sunlight models will be affected and so the colour.

If you’ve used white glue, like for attaching clear parts, condensation inside the case could cause the glue to soften. Could also cause decal problems if they weren’t clear coated.
