Here's pretty much exactly what I'm going for [found better pic]:
There will be a door on the end facing you. Store boxes etc underneath

This will be one sweet setup. Can't wait to see it.
Your concept looks great. If you have not cut the acrylic or peeled the protective layer off may I recommend that you use 1/4 plate glass? Were I live they cost the same and the glass will hold up. Even if you're very careful, acrylic can start to look old in less then a year just from "dust" damage.
PLUS with 1/4 plate glass the top area will not need any wood to support it. The front and back can be glued to the glass sides with 1/4 double sided glass tape and the top can just sit in place. I would recommend a thin rubber bead seal to prevent it from getting scratched
You also might want to consider a solid floor which can be decorated it like a ruble laden street. That way you can drill it for the dynamic posts and you will not need to interrupt the vibe of the diorama with a mish mosh of bases
I'm figuring you will have about $400 into this when you are done, which may seem expensive but considering that you will use it to display figures worth close to $2000 it is a good investment.
Doing the work yourself will save you a ton of money. I've built medal boxes that sit on a coffee table that cost as much a this so think of how much it would have cost to pay someone to do it
You sound just like the people that ask me build them a custom 6' x 3' display case and then when I tell them it will be $400 they question my price and claim you can get a sheet of plywood at Lowes for $10.

Well, I originally was gonna do the 'weld acrylic' deal, so top was totally clear. But that changed as I went. Him, didn't know that it would look bad faster....
I'll consider all your pointers.
Floor: Yes that's what i'm going to do, solid floor with drilled for dynamics/rubble

Acrylic is very easy to damage, even wiping off dust creates micro abrasions. It is also easier to connect the glass. The 1/4 tape is easy to apply.
You can also use silicon and painters tape or the glass shop might even glue it together for you.
I also forgot to mention that the back could be solid too.
I'm very excited to see what you do with this.
PS: I know you wanted the bottom to look solid but you might consider some 6-8" deep shelves for the front, it would give you additional display area for Row or two of HPP HOA Bays

Yeah, I got one of the backgrounds from TwelveInchFigures here, the Avengers City Battle one.
Thanks for the pointers, I'll start a thread of the build when I start.

Yes, that is ALL of the armors. The only one I do not have is the brokback Tennessee Tony. Though just to be at 100% ,I think I will snag him up. Found a place to get it dirt cheap and I think I'll abuse him in photos to justify buying it.
