Showcase Your Model Ship in Style, with an acrylic model ship display case
Few things deserve an acrylic display case more than a model ship. These models are stunning to look at—but almost impossible not to touch. If you’ve spent years scratch-building your ship, carefully assembling a kit, or investing in a fully assembled model, the last thing you want is visitors poking, wiggling, or prodding it.
Keep your masterpiece safe behind one of our custom-made acrylic display cases. Display your ship proudly in a premium spot in your home, rather than hiding it away in a spare room for “safekeeping”.
Further Protection for your Model Ship
Even if you manage to keep curious hands away, other threats remain: dust, furniture polish, air fresheners, and UV light. Unless your ship is stored in a dark cupboard, fading and long-term deterioration are hard to avoid.
Our model ship display cases solve that problem. The high-quality acrylic we use blocks over 90% of harmful UV light, protecting your model from fading, dust, and moisture, while enhancing its appearance.
Please Note:
The measurements you enter refer to the internal display area of the case.
- The external width and depth of the wooden base will be approximately 35 mm larger for 3 mm acrylic and 39 mm larger for 5 mm acrylic.
- The external height of the display case will be approximately 10 mm taller (3 mm acrylic) or 12 mm taller (5 mm acrylic).
- Remember to allow enough clearance above your model ship so the display cover can be placed over it comfortably.
Wooden Base Display Case Construction
Our wooden base acrylic display cases are designed to provide a premium, secure and visually clean way to protect and showcase your items. Each case combines a solid, furniture-grade base with a crystal-clear acrylic cover to deliver both protection and exceptional presentation.
Wooden Base Construction
The base features a solid MDF core for strength and rigidity, surrounded with a stained and lacquered wooden frame, available in multiple colour options for a professional, furniture quality appearance. Available finishes include black (dark grey), mahogany and light wood.
Raised Locating Lip
The wooden frame sits slightly higher than the interior display surface, forming a locating lip that holds the acrylic cover in place and prevents lateral movement.
Baize Display Surface
The central display area is finished with a high-quality baize lining, providing a soft, non-abrasive surface that enhances presentation while protecting your item. Available in a choice of five colours: black, navy blue, moss green, burgundy/maroon and bright red, this allows you to match your displayed item and/or room decor.
Protective Underside
The underside of the base is covered in soft, non-slip baize to help prevent scratches or marks on furniture and display surfaces.
Frameless Acrylic Cover
The clear acrylic cover is supplied as a single, frameless piece, offering uninterrupted visibility from all angles while allowing natural light to illuminate your display without obstruction.
Precision Fabrication
The acrylic cover is formed from a single sheet with two thermoformed bends to create the front, top and back panels, with the side panels securely bonded onto it and polished to achieve a smooth, professional finish.
UV Protection
The acrylic used blocks over 90% of UV light, helping to reduce fading and preserve the condition of your displayed item over time. Nevertheless we do not recommend leaving your display in direct sunlight.
Dust & Handling Protection
The enclosed design protects against dust, airborne contaminants and handling, helping to keep your displayed item in pristine condition.
Removable Cover
The acrylic cover lifts cleanly from the base, allowing easy access while maintaining a dust free and protected environment when in place.

Looks great and crystal clear
This is the third display case I have had and is equally the measure of the previous cases. Precise, well made, beautifully finished and packed and delivered with extreme care.
Second case I’ve purchased and again extremely happy with the result, arrived ahead of schedule
All went well except I did not get any notification when delivery would be, The first I knew was the delivery driver at my door.
It has to be said that my ship looks great in the case and I am very pleased with it.
Wonderful quality and beautifully made. Super secure packaging delivered the next day. Thank you once again.
Workmanship is faultless. Delivery arrived in North East of Scotland within 24 hours. Excellent service
Another excellent base and cover. – My 3rd base and cover. Really sets the models off and protects from dust. Also stops people poking the rudder to see if it works! Excellent product, well packed. Thank you
Custom display case for model of the Cutty Sark. – Apologies for delay in writing review, but it took longer than I anticipated to fit all the sails on the Cutty Sark. I am very pleased with the display case as it shows off the ship very well and also will mean that I won’t have to clean it any more. Both the acrylic case and the wooden base are very well made. I am attaching 2 photos of the model in the case. Many thanks
Custom Model Case – My 4th case from this supplier now and this is the largest to date, this was from one of your model ship selection but it’s perfect for this very large motorcycle model. Thank you to your team. can’t fault the company or the product, well made, well packed and they were less than half the price of a local supplier including postage.
