Hello,
Just had this flash that I could make an easy diorama cover with plastic sheets.
I'd like to have those glass ones, but I don't know how to work glass!
I'm sure it would be pretty easy to build one if I can get my hands on some plastic sheets, the kind you put on the first page of a manual. So I know how to get some the size of a book, now I have to find bigger ones!
So I was just posting this to ask if anybody'd tried this before?

I have built covers from Plexiglass (Strong plastic) before. They work really well for keeping dust off your models, plus it makes them look more professional. It's a great substitution if you don't have a display case to put them in. It's kind of a pain building them, but worth the effort in the end.
You can also buy pre-made covers. I have the links, but will have to post the links later. They are on a different machine.
Cheers,

Nicoropi i think that this wont be very hard to create it!The only hard thing is to find the plastic sheets or the plexiglass sheets!
Then you create a cube of it to cover your model!
It's like glueing a paper cube!
If using plexiglass then u should use clear silicone to glue your cube!
Just place the upper part on your bench and glue the rest around it!Simple as it sounds!!
