clogger Posted October 4, 2016 Share #1 Posted October 4, 2016 Can someone let me know the recommended internal dimensions of a display case for the Caldecraft Endeavour 1/64 scale ship? I'm making a wooden glass display case but haven't yet completed the model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaager Posted October 5, 2016 Share #2 Posted October 5, 2016 If I remember correctly: width : 1 inch wider on each side than the width of the main yard and 2 inches beyond the jib and mizzen boom. So, 2 inches wider than the widest part of the model and 4 inches longer. I suspect things are different for miniature scale, but your model is 42% of museum scale in volume and 75% in length and width. Perhaps 1.5" and 3" would work. mtaylor 1 Quote NRG member 50 years Current: NMS HMS Ajax 1767 - 74-gun 3rd rate - 1:192 POF exploration - works but too intense -no margin for error HMS Centurion 1732 - 60-gun 4th rate - POF Navall Timber framing HMS Beagle 1831 refiit 10-gun brig with a small mizzen - POF Navall (ish) Timber framing The U.S. Ex.

ccoyle Posted October 5, 2016 Share #4 Posted October 5, 2016 Don't forget to add a couple of inches to the case for height and to include the base & pedestals in your overall height measurement for the model. mtaylor 1 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

druxey Posted October 5, 2016 Share #5 Posted October 5, 2016 May I recommend a case with a door in the end? I've had to repair too many models (not my own!) that had their tophamper damaged while a case was lowered over the model. It's much easier and safer to slide the model in....
