Sorry but I ran out of superlatives a long time ago regarding the beauty of your model. You have raised the bar!!!

Congrats! That' what I call a sheer piece of art.

Here is the case that I ordered from shopPOPdisplays based in NJ.

https://www.shoppopdisplays.com/CS0...-faux-wood-base-and-black-acrylic-insert.html

Dimensions are 12” x 12” x 42” ( custom size so you have to contact them for a quote ) and made from 1/4” thick acrylic, it comes with a Faux mahogany base that is also made of plastic with a black acrylic insert for the model to sit on. The base looks quite good for what it is but the case is very sturdy and well made - cost of these has increased a heck of a lot in the last 5 years!!

I intend to make some changes to the base maybe to strengthen it ( or completely replace it ) and make some Swiss Pear pedestals for the Winnie to sit on which will match the Keel.

The pictures show how well this case was packaged and it arrived quickly with no damage.

Winchelsea was dusted and cleaned and installed into her final display place in our living room.
Thanks for coming along for the voyage.

Simply beautiful.

Ben, I wish it wasn't the last trip. Is anything planned?

Not quite sure on what my new project will be, I will certainly drop back on to my secondary scratch fully framed Swan class for a while until I decide.
