I was trying to work out the display case issue for months.
https://www.idisplayit.co.uk/displa...ale-back-to-the-future-delorean-display-case/
this company makes various custom display cases, such as this one for the 1/6 BTTF delorean, so I contacted them about if they were going to make one for the Ecto 1. They said they would consider it.
Even if they do make one though.. you see how much room there is on either side of the car? that display case would be too large for my plinth, so I began to think about possibly constructing one myself with acrylic pieces. again, problems, as I couldn't find any pieces long enough, also gluing the whole thing together could be tricky for me.
Then finally I had an idea.... There are websites such as Quickbox, where you can design to the exact mm a custom cardboard box. I chose a white coloured dual thickness open top box, which I will turn upside down, and then make windows, with PVC. The same stuff that is used in convertible rear windows, marquee windows, etc. Its even UV resistant, like those 1/6 display cases.
I'll get pics up when I get the thing put together.
and yeah, 500mm is the very top of the roof rack, those little aerials you see behind the white/red dome thing. The body of the car itself is around 300mm. I made my box 750 high.
