Well, I picked up the glass shelves today. I really should have made the slots a little wider as the glass probably should be a little bit thicker. I'm going to look into getting metal edges, as that should help add some strength as well as prevent me from cutting myself, as I did twice while adding models. All that remains is to add the sliding plexiglass doors, which will be done after I make the handles.
This is the majority of what I have built. I still have about a dozen car kits too add. Currently, they are in individual plastic display cases. I also have about a dozen armor related items to add. Most have just a couple of small things left to finish attaching/adding.
The only other thing that may happen to the case is the addition of some lights at the top. I placed a temporary light there and it made a huge difference.
I'll be building at least one more of these cases, but most likely two more. There will also be a matching case with wood doors for holding in progress kits, magazines, tools, etc. I'll also be building a matching tv/stereo rack.

Nice job. I need to find the room for a good display case.
