Anyone in the GTA interested in a custom display too? If I spend $125US we receive 20% off the order, plus will can split shipping. The cases are from www.casesforcollectibles.com , I've used them before for a custom display for the 1:8 Pocher Lamborghini. They do great work!

PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP! :D

The dollar isn't good for shopping in US :(lol

Would using an Autoart 1:12 display case be too large? I got my brother the Mini for Christmas and just gave him one of the single 1:18 displays. It's tight but it works.

I hear you, but supply and demand :)

The AUTOart 1:12 is heard to come by and too large. 1:18 isn't tall enough :(

I was just searching the web one night and saw this:

Seeing this jogged my memory about your search for a tall display.

Hello Kraftig, I have the need for a custom display case for 1:18 model.

Case cannot exceed 13 inches in total length, prefer even less if possible.

Can I ask where you found your custom piece?
