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.
