For those looking for Studio Scale Acrylic Cases

[rad1701]

This place has pretty reasonable pricing. I just priced out a pretty nice cover for my Enterprise (with a base) and it came to about $145 + shipping.

I have used this option as well and agree with rad1701. Very nicely priced for the product received. :thumbsup :thumbsup

I'll look forward to seeing yours. That is a great price.

I'll put in a good word for casesforcollectibles - I've gotten three cases from
them in the past year - all arrived quickly and in great shape.

How big a cover did you order? What was your USA shipping price on it?
I may look into this as well.

For my Enterprise I ordered this size case: 34" x 16" x 14" (high). Price was about $178 total with shipping. I have ordered from these guys before. They do nice work. Hopefully have my case by the end of this week. I'll post some pics here when I get it.

Are the edges rolled or is it a five piece? Anybody have pics of one of their Falcon covers? Thanks,

John

The previous cases I have gotten from them have rolled two edges so I'm assuming this one will be the same way. I find this look is pretty nice.

They are very good. And they are in the U.S. I have purchased many cases from them and only had one that arrived broken, which they replaced immediately. All of my cases have been at least as large as the one stated above... actually...mostly larger.

Regarding the MR Falcon.. the one problem I see and have been mulling over (but haven't asked them about yet) with getting a case for it is the large top space required. This company works mostly (from what I have received from them) with 1/8 inch acrylic (which is probably why their costs are so good). The Falcon base has a 1/4 inch lip. Also,.. due to the large top space and gravity,.. I believe you would really need to get the 1/4 inch thickness in order to prevent cracking from top-middle sagging. I am not certain they offer the 1/4 inch, but it is worth asking about.

If you find out,..please post it. Rad1701,.. do you know if they offer the 1/4 inch thickness?

 

[rad1701]

I have an email in to them asking about what size thickness they use on this size case.

 

[jcoffman99]

I called and left a message today. Hopefully they'll call me back tomorrow.

 

[rad1701]

Got an email back on my order. They said they could do 3/16" material for the same price so that's what I'm going with. They didn't offer 1/4" so I'm not sure if that's even available.

 

[vaderdarth]

3/16 " would be more than adequate for this size case. 1/8 would definitely sag, but I don't believe the 3/16" one would.

I was just quoted about 228 plus 80 dollars shipping for a falcon case.

Following this with a lot of interest.

I, too, have ordered through casesforcollectibles and recommend them. Great dealer to work with.

$300 seems to be the magic number for a Falcon case. To me it seems reasonable.........especially when viewing the thing in front of me.........it's Heeee....uge.....

I'm definitely interested.
