Living on retirement income sometimes means limited resources. And some people are just thrifty (spelled cheap?). I looked for some small, clear display boxes on Amazon and eBay and was shocked (as I usually am looking at prices after 70 some years). Out of my comfort zone. My alternative was from Walmart. Organic salad container with good price on mixed salad for $5, and I get the clear container just slightly bigger than normal 1/24 cars (cases). My photos make them look cloudy, but that is my bad photography. They are very clear. More clear than the windows in the Vette. And of course, they can be polished just like you polish your models. A little flimsy but not that bad. The bottom is removable. Not sure how widespread this item is in various Walmarts. Your mileage may vary. But the idea is shop around. I show the package as bought, peel off the label, pretty easy. As a bonus here is my latest finished Phonebooth T in another container. Not as cool, but good enough for now. I need to publish my finished T, but I haven't completed my Procrastination For Dummies yet. How I built it is in WIP, Phonebooth T
