Like this? Its dirt cheap just ask me ;)

So here it goes.... These tubes you see are made of glass and are again from IKEA!!! They are part of a lantern called Damast and sell for C$20, well here in Canada anyways!!!! The glass tube is 14" tall and has a diameter of 5.75" and will fit most 1/6 figures. It is rather tight fit. Since Ikea is pretty much everywhere now and anyone can get hold on these cheap ;) so hopefully you can use the idea for some good displays and post some pictures :D

Challenging...

This was more challenging than I ever anticipated.... to stay within a tolerance of +-1/8" was not easy but this 4 level case was a "bridge" to do in all aspect as everything had to be accurate to 1/16" and I had to create some new tools to help me lock in the shelves for gluing. Otherwise I think it came out surprisingly well and quite different from any standard solutions I have seen as this case has no other glued joints ;) I'll have some final pictures up when the client takes pictures with content..
