Model Display Cases



Example of a Model Display Case without base.At Hope Framing we build elegant, model display cases. Having built scale wooden models of historic ships, we understand the importance of preserving and protecting such family heirlooms. We offer both custom built display cases and kit display cases that the artisan may assemble at considerable savings.

All of our display cases are constructed with acrylic, high-lighted with mitered brass on all exposed edges and completed with a mahogany wood base or custom framed base. Our custom built display cases are built to the inside dimensions requested and with the desired frame moulding and mat board covering or with an unfinished mohogany wood base.

Model Display Case Kit Parts

Hope Framing display case "Kits" are constructed using many of the same materials used in our custom built display cases. The kits include precut, self adhesive, mitered brass edging, an unfinished mahogany base, five acrylic panes cut to the precise required dimensions and step by step instructions for assembly. The kit sizes we offer were derived from our research finding that a majority of ship models fit nicely within one of these two sized cases.

Hope Framing also sells custom made brass and acrylic display cases without the base. Many customers have inquired about purchasing a brass and acrylic case for placement directly upon an existing bookshelf, as shown in the photo above. We sell the cases as custom "kits" minus the base cost. Call or email for more information.

Calculating Dimensions and Cost for Custom Display Cases

Calculating the inside dimensions of a custom built display case and its cost is easily done by first measuring the display item (i.e. ship model) then adding 4" to the total length, 4" to the total width and 2" to the total height. To calculate a custom display case's price, add the length + width + height and multiply the sum times $7.30. Be sure that in measuring your display item, sufficient space is allowed on all sides as we do not offer refunds for custom built cases. Please note that due to the same number of miters and joinery in a small case, a minimum charge is applied to cover labor cost. If you have any questions concerning calculating size or pricing, do not hesitate to call us.

Display Case Design

Small sampling of base coverings available for display case bases.When ordering a custom display case, customers may also select from a range of frame moulding and base coverings. As illustrated in the picture of this custom built base, the case is designed to lift off of its base (as are all of our cases) allowing for easy placement within of delicate item(s). These display cases are well-suited for fine models, art sculptures, rare dolls, historical objects, displays of rare documents, books, etc.

Shipping Model Display Cases

Our model display case "Kits" are safely shipped across the country at a very reasonable cost. However, due to the size and fragile nature of this product we do not ship fully assembled custom display cases. We do arrange for pick-ups of completed display cases from our shop in Hope. If you, family or friends are traveling to Maine in the future, we are more than willing to make accommodations for a pick-up of a completed display case.

Our prices are highly competitive and all price quotes include the acrylic glazing. Please note that when comparing our prices to other case makers’ prices, the glazing is often not included in their price. Glass and acrylic are a substantial part in pricing display cases.


We accept   Master Card, Visa, Discover Card, UnionPay  and personal checks.
