DISPLAY CASES

I've just finished my first (and so far, only) build after 9 years, so after all that time I didn't want to skimp on a protective case.
The case I got custom made wasn't inexpensive but at 1000mm X 810mm X 420mm (internal dimensions) I guess I couldn't expect anything else.
It came from a company on the south coast of England. I don't know if they have an upper limit as to the size they will make but their products are high quality.
Anyone interested can contact them here > https://www.strikingdisplays.co.uk/...-cases/custom-sized-display-case.html#DETAILS

This is really a bigger case - so now we are very curious to know, which ship is inside this case - with the height of more than 80 cm I guess with masts, yards and fully rigged, or?
 
Hi Uwe,
The ship is HMS Leopard 1790, 50 Gun Ship built at 1:80 scale. The plans that came with the book were at 1:96 but for my first build I felt that was a little on the small side for me to work with so I had the plans expanded a little.
A couple of pictures.

The photo below was when the ship was almost finished, still in its 'shipyard cradle' >
