Hi gang,I`m dropping this line in hopes that someone out there can help me.
My dilemma is that a few years ago i bought the Minicraft deluxe version of the Titanic in 1/350 scale,for my wife as an anniversary gift (she loves anything to do with the ship).
Now i want to build it for her i need to find a case to put it in,to protect it from dust and little fingers (if you have kids you`ll know it mean ! )
I`m posting this here in the hopes that a fellow modeller can point me in the right direction here in the UK.

If you want to buy a base/case then maybe i can help you out.I am not in UK anymore but since i am sending my models all around the world i don't think i would have much problem sending you a base.

Example of a base design i could make for your Titanic.

From my experience in UK that will be in any case a LOT more cheaper than having a carpenter (IF you can find one) to built you one.

Hi mate,thanks for the offer but i was hoping for something closer to home.
I`m not too bad at DIY but having a case made just seemed to be a more professional finish.
Thank You for trying to help
