ratskiss Posted March 1, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 1, 2019 Has anyone built a glass display case for AL HMS Surprise? I am looking for the outside measurements for the glass cover. I like building furniture so giving my sore eyes from the dear old surprise I would like to build something bigger. The kit has measurements of course but adding inches and imagining the size, I just thought I would ask. Thanks G mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted March 2, 2019 Share #2 Posted March 2, 2019 If no one has a hard, fast answer, when I had a case built, the builder said measure and add 4" to the length and width for the inside measurement. The outside will vary on glass thickness and whether you use decorative or structural framing at the corners, etc. Your mileage may vary as this isn't set in concrete. vossy 1 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratskiss Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted March 2, 2019 Thank you. It sounds like a four inches is a good starting point. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
