Model Ship Display Case

Collecting or building model ships is a wonderful hobby. Have you considered storing your ships in custom-built model ship display cases? These can protect your ship models from harmful particles, mold, dust, debris, and other pollutants while also enabling you to show them off. Acrylic model ship display cases can also protect your precious collection from falling, breakage, or the hands of curious young children.

Various display cases for model ships exist, but at Grandpa’s Cabinets, we craft superior model ship display cases by creating a hardwood base and an acrylic cover. Our cases look amazing while also providing the best protection. We custom-build each acrylic display cover and base.

Acrylic Model Ship Display Cases

At Grandpa’s Cabinets, artisan cabinetmaker Ron Baluch uses solid and robust hardwood—never cheap materials like laminates or veneers—to build your custom display base. For the cover, we only use  optical-grade acrylic (at a minimum thickness of 3/16”) that offers crystal-clear transparency. This enables you to proudly show off your ship models for the world to see.

Our custom-built design process ensures that you’ll receive a complete and finished product sized perfectly for the designated piece of your collection.

Our Construction Process

Our precise construction ensures the best viewing experience for an attractive model ship display case. Ron uses a bent-edge technique to create the corners and edges of the acrylic for cases less than 40”. This process involves heating the acrylic and bending it to create three of the corners. For larger cases, we use a constructed-edge design to join the edges and corners together.

For Extra-Large Ship Models

If you have a gigantic ship model, we can handle a case for that, too, but we have a slightly different technique that involves precutting the base and the acrylic sides and top, along with trim to join the edges. We would send you the pieces in a kit along with instructions for easy assembly in your home.

Additional Features and Benefits

At Grandpa’s Cabinets, we work directly with every customer to custom-build a display case to their specifications. Some features and benefits you can expect include:

• Light weight: Acrylic is a lightweight material that’s easy to work with. Unlike glass, you won’t have to worry about breakage.
• Glass-like optics: While glass can break more easily than other materials, people still like glass due to its aesthetics. Acrylic offers many of the same optics without sacrificing protection.
• Low maintenance: Your custom-built acrylic ship model case won’t require much maintenance. Occasional cleaning with a soft cloth is usually enough to prevent scratches, scrapes, and other blemishes.
• Fast turnaround time:  Your model case will take no more than three weeks to complete.
• Precise specifications: Provide us with the specifications you need, and we’ll do our best to match them. The finished size of your display case will always fit your model display.

Display Cases for Model Ships

Model Ship Display Cases

Our acrylic model ship display cases are ideal for displaying model ships, large or small. As nice as model ships look they are dust magnets, and also interesting enough to attract prying fingers, which can damage the delicate parts of your model. As well as the dust and the physical damage that can affect your model ship, there is also the possibility of the light damaging it.

We have the perfect solution, we can make an acrylic display case to your exact sizes. This will make dusting a lot easier and less stressful, the acrylic will need only a light dust, and Mr. Sheen furniture polish adding once a month. The acrylic will block over 90% of harmful UV light while still being easily visible. Acrylic is actually clearer than glass as well, so has great clarity. Also the protection from prying fingers goes without saying. The worst you will have to face is polishing a finger-mark off the outside of the display case. Not the nightmare scenario of having to re-attach parts of the ship model. Please read through the below information first, and then visit the  custom display cases  section to choose your new display case. The display case with a wooden base is the one that can be made the largest.

To get the shipping cost you just add one to your cart and then once in the cart screen you can change the dropdown box to your area/country to see the shipping costs and options. It normally takes about 7 – 10 business days to make your model ship display case.

Potential Model Ship Display Case Problems

Because the display case must go over the top of the model you need either to have as much clearance between the top of your model and the ceiling as the height of the display case you are buying, or you would need to put the display case base on a lower table and then add the model and the display case cover, and very very carefully lift them all onto the surface you are displaying it on. Luckily it shouldn’t need moving again as it will be safely protected. Obviously this will make access to your ship quite difficult. If you need regular access to your model ship then this can make things quite difficult.

What Size Ship Display Case

This is entirely down to your personal choice, but here are a few considerations.

• If the display case is displayed at a height where you have to look up at it then you won’t need much clearance above the mast.
• If the display case is displayed low, where the top of the mast is below eye level then it will be advisable to have extra clearance above it. This will stop the display looking cramped.
• The distance between the model ship and front and back of the display case (the port and starboard) isn’t too important. We recommend at least 25mm to allow enough space to put the cover on, without catching your model. If you allow more, it will give you the possibility of moving the model ship backwards or forwards to allow for a plaque, or something similar to be added at a later date.
• If you are displaying anything else in the showcase then place it on a desk with your model before measuring. Dont forget to allow some clearance.
• Our sizes listed on the website are always the inside sizes of the display cases. This means you do not need add clearance for the thickness of the acrylic and base for inside sizes. If space is limited around where you are placing your model then you need to know the external sizes of the display case. Use the display case calculator to calculate the price of the display case you think you need. Next, contact us to find out how much to allow so that the outside size will fit in your display area.

Where can my Display Case be Delivered to?

We deliver worldwide, but there are countries that we don’t ship to at all due to high risk of breakages. Also the larger the display case then the more limited places our couriers can reliably deliver to. Please contact us for more information. If we can help you, then we will.

When should I buy the display case?

Our customers have very mixed views on this, some customers buy the display case before they start building the model. This has the advantage that your model is protected from the moment you start work on it. The disadvantages are that you have to be 100% confident of the finished size. A mistake will be costly as custom made products cannot be returned. Also if it is going to be a very large model you will need help to remove the display cover every time you do some work on your model. This may limit the amount of time you can spend working on it.

Other customers wait until their model is finished before buying a display case for it. This has the advantage that you know absolutely the finished size of your model. Much less chance of the wrong size being ordered. But the disadvantages are that you will have to find some other method of protecting the model from dust and damage while it is being built. This may restrict the times you get to work on your model.

Customer Testimonial

In 1925, my grandfather made a diorama of a sailing ship. Over the years it has been passed down to me and I wanted to ensure that it was displayed in a protective case. I found your company on the internet and provided all the required dimensions and details. When the custom made case arrived, I was greatly reassured when I saw the care that had gone into the packing to ensure that it arrived undamaged. The case and base were superb and made me feel very happy that I placed my order with you. If I should need a display case in the future I know exactly where to go. Very many thanks, Jacqueline – Surrey.

32 NFL Teams in 32 Days: Saints Looking to End Playoff Drought in Winnable NFC South

Matt verderame | 8 hours ago.

• New Orleans Saints

Welcome to 32 teams in 32 days. To get us through the offseason, we’ll be taking a closer look at every team in the NFL, in order of projected 2024 win totals. Up next: the Saints.

After making the playoffs in four consecutive seasons to end Drew Brees’s career, the Saints have now missed the postseason three consecutive years. 

With coach Dennis Allen entering his third campaign after taking over for Sean Payton, New Orleans has to make a move in the winnable NFC South. Allen, who has a brutal 24–46 record between his stints with the Oakland Raiders and Saints, posted a winning season in 2023 for the first time in his coaching career. 

Perhaps this means progress, or it may simply represent the high-water level with this group.

Biggest gamble this offseason: Not bringing another weapon into the fold

As is annual tradition, the Saints didn’t have ample cap space because they treat the salary cap like a suggestion rather than a rule under general manager Mickey Loomis.

Because of this, New Orleans wasn’t able to give Derek Carr another weapon, instead hoping the same receiving corps sans Michael Thomas is going to work out.

Last season, the Saints were already thin in the passing game. Now, the hope is that Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed step up further, carrying an offense in desperate need of stardom. 

Toughest stretch of the season: Weeks 2 to 6

If the Saints are going to make a move toward the playoffs, it’ll start early. 

New Orleans has to deal with a brutal September slate that stretches into October, beginning in Week 2 with a road date against the Dallas Cowboys. From there, the Saints return home to host the Philadelphia Eagles before two more road games, first taking on the Atlanta Falcons and then enduring a Monday night affair with the Kansas City Chiefs.

For New Orleans, it’s three road games in four weeks, and all against teams either clearly playoff caliber or arguably in that tier. 

Breakout player to watch: Shaheed

Many fans aren’t familiar with Shaheed, but they ought to be. The third-year pro out of Weber State was a fixture in New Orleans’s passing game in 2023, catching 46 passes for 719 yards and five touchdowns. (He also made the All-Pro team as a punt returner.)

After seeing his numbers all increase from his rookie campaign, expect Shaheed’s role in the offense to only grow. And, with the Saints’ depth chart being somewhat barren after Olave and Shaheed, there’s a good chance he’ll be getting more than the 75 targets he earned a year ago.

Olave is the clear No. 1 option in the passing game, but Shaheed is a quality secondary piece.

Best-case scenario: The Saints feast on an easy schedule

For New Orleans, the magic could be in the schedule. 

The Saints are playing against the AFC West, which outside of Kansas City is far from threatening. Then there’s the NFC South, which doesn’t have a single team within it guaranteed double-digit wins. Finally, the NFC East, which is comprised of two bottom-feeders, the declining Cowboys and an enigmatic Eagles squad.

New Orleans likely has to depend on its defense to drive a playoff run, relying on the talents of corner Marshon Lattimore, linebacker Demario Davis, safety Tyrann Mathieu and defensive end Carl Granderson, but that could be enough in a bad division and wide-open NFC.

Worst-case scenario: Derek Carr and the offense sink the ship

The Saints don’t have an offense that’s going to scare most teams.

New Orleans is hoping Carr can improve on a middling first year in the Big Easy, in which he failed to throw for more than 4,000 yards. The problem is that beyond Olave and Shaheed, there’s little talent in the passing game. 

If the Saints have to consistently win low-scoring games, that’s a tough road in the modern-day NFL. This is doubly true against the better quarterbacks they’ll face including Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, Dak Prescott, Jalen Hurts and Kirk Cousins, who all have solid weapons save for Herbert. 

Head coach-quarterback tandem ranking

No. 28 : Allen (29) and Carr (20)

Frankly, it’s tough to rank the Saints any higher. Allen is a veteran coach but his record is abysmal. Through tours in Oakland and now New Orleans, he sports a 24–46 mark, including 16–18 with the Saints. As for Carr, he was uneven in his first season in New Orleans, amassing 3,878 passing yards with 25 touchdowns.

Sleeper fantasy pick: Olave

Olave is coming off his second 1,000-yard season, but I still don’t think he’s hit his statistical ceiling. That could happen in Year 3, as he’ll no longer have to contend with Thomas (when healthy) for targets. Olave also has the advantage of playing against a pretty advantageous slate of opponents, which could further vault him to increased fantasy stardom in 2024. —Michael Fabiano

Best bet: Saints under 7.5 wins (+100) at DraftKings

Carr and Alvin Kamara are another year older, and Olave can’t do it all by himself. The Saints saw some late-season magic in 2023, winning four of their last five games, but don’t let that distract you from the even money payout for the under. — Jennifer Piacenti

The last update? —

Macbook air gets hosed, other models hold steady in macos 15 as intel support fades, sequoia is both more and less generous to intel macs, depending on the model..

Andrew Cunningham - Jun 18, 2024 12:50 pm UTC

As the Intel Mac era has wound down over the last couple of years, we've been painstakingly tracking the amount of software support that each outgoing model is getting. We did this to establish, with over 20 years' worth of hard data, whether Intel Mac owners were getting short shrift as Apple shifted its focus to Apple Silicon hardware and to software that leveraged Apple Silicon-exclusive capabilities.

So far, we've found that owners of Intel Macs made in the mid-to-late 2010s are definitely getting fewer major macOS updates and fewer years' worth of security updates than owners of Intel Macs made in the late 2000s and early 2010s but that these systems are still getting more generous support than old PowerPC Macs did after Apple switched to Intel's processors.

The good news with the macOS 15 Sequoia release is that Apple is dropping very few Intel Mac models this year, a much-needed pause that slows the steady acceleration of support-dropping we've seen over the last few macOS releases.

The bad news is that isn't true for the MacBook Air, generally the most important and bestselling of all Apple's Mac models—the 2018 version of the Air (and a very lightly revised 2019-era variant of the same machine) are being dropped from the Sequoia support list, giving them by far the shortest support window of any MacBook Air since the very first one back in 2008.

And the uncertainty of being an Intel Mac owner in the Apple Silicon era persists, as we don't know exactly when Apple plans to fully remove Intel support from macOS. Statistically, it could go either way—at least a few Intel Macs could have one more update coming, but Sequoia could also be the end of the line.

If you haven't read our pieces about Intel Mac support in macOS 13 Ventura or macOS 14 Sonoma , here's a quick overview of what data we're collecting and what it means. You can also view the raw data in a spreadsheet here ; the notes at the end of our macOS Ventura support article have some details on data collection .

For every modern Mac that Apple has released—where "modern" encompasses every model released since the original iMac, shortly after Steve Jobs' return to the company—we've tracked down the date it was introduced and the date it was discontinued. We've also recorded the number of major macOS releases supported by each system, as well as the amount of time each Mac received basic security-only patches after it stopped being able to run the latest release of macOS.

We're mainly paying attention to two spans of time: from the date of each Mac's introduction to the date it stopped receiving major macOS updates and from the date of each Mac's introduction to the date it stopped receiving any updates at all. We consider any Macs inside either of these spans to be actively supported; Macs that are no longer receiving regular updates from Apple have been dropped and will slowly become less secure and less compatible with modern apps as time marches on. We measure by years of support rather than number of releases, which controls for Apple's transition to a once-yearly release schedule for macOS back in the early 2010s.

We've also tracked the time between each Mac model's discontinuation and when it stopped receiving updates. This is how Apple decides what products go on its "vintage" and "obsolete" hardware lists , which determine the level of hardware support and the kinds of repairs that the company will provide.

Apple has occasionally suggested to us that it also uses these "vintage" and "obsolete" labels to pick which Macs are supported by a new macOS update and which aren't. But our data has shown this isn't true—Apple doesn't support Mac hardware for longer just because the company sold that hardware for longer. If you buy an older Mac, whether it's new, refurbished, or used, you're usually also buying fewer years of active macOS updates.

Facing E.V. Tariffs, China Threatens Pork Imports From Europe

Acting quickly after the European Union imposed extra tariffs of up to 38 percent on China’s electric cars, Beijing opened a trade case on Europe’s pork.

By Keith Bradsher

Reporting from Wuhan, China

China on Monday threatened to impose tariffs on pork imports from Europe, in what appeared to be retaliation for the European Union’s decision last week to impose preliminary tariffs on electric cars imported from China.

China’s Ministry of Commerce announced that it had opened an investigation into whether pork from the European Union was being dumped in China at unfairly low prices. The case could result in tariffs on dozens of products, from pork chops to pickled pig intestines.

The ministry said it was acting in response to an application from the China Animal Agriculture Association, a government-affiliated group, and released a copy of the request. The association accused the European pork industry of benefiting from inappropriate government subsidies as it suffered from overcapacity — the same accusations that European and American officials have leveled against China’s car industry.

Olof Gill, a spokesman for the European Commission, said in a statement that the European Union’s executive arm was analyzing China’s action and would “follow the proceeding very closely in coordination with E.U. industry and member states, and intervene as appropriate to ensure that the investigation fully complies with relevant” World Trade Organization rules.

The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China, a business group, said in a statement that China’s action was not a surprise after the European Union’s recent electric vehicle tariffs. The chamber added that it “encourages both sides to take action to depoliticize the business environment and find ways to address the underlying causes.”

The E.V. tariffs have been a divisive issue in Europe. Labor unions and European auto parts producers have been worried about job losses as China’s electric car exports to the continent rise quickly. But European automakers like Volkswagen have been expanding electric car production in China and shifting their purchasing from Europe to low-cost Chinese suppliers. They have been wary that trade frictions may prompt China to target imports of luxury cars from Europe next.

By choosing pork imports as the apparent payback for the electric vehicle tariffs, China is turning to a playbook it followed during its last major trade fight with the European Union over a decade ago.

In 2013, the European Union moved to impose 11.8 percent tariffs on solar panels from China. China responded by threatening tariffs on wine from Europe and then launched a successful campaign to persuade national governments in Europe to force E.U. leaders in Brussels to back down.

Farmers are a potent political lobby in Europe who have been looking for ways to increase sales to China. Experts in China’s trade policy said Beijing might be hoping to pressure the European Union to back down again.

In addition to the pork trade case, the Ministry of Commerce already began in January a case against imports of Cognac and other European wine-based spirits that come mainly from France. The French government has been an early supporter of tariffs on electric cars from China, following allegations that China has heavily subsidized the industry.

It’s not clear China will succeed in stopping the European Union’s electric vehicle tariffs. Chinese imports of solar panels decimated Europe’s solar panel manufacturing industry after the union rescinded its tariffs. European governments are still looking for ways to revive the industry. Few in Europe want electric car production to suffer a similar fate.

China also has a huge overall trade surplus with Europe. In recent months, China has sent four shipping containers’ worth of exports to Europe for each container of imports that comes the other way.

For China’s part, tariffs on pork could help protect an important industry from international competition. Pork prices fell 14 percent last year, as the country’s pig farmers expanded their herds. Prices have begun to recover in the past month but are still half of what they were three to five years ago, when an epidemic of African swine fever killed much of China’s herd.

China is by far the world’s largest market for pork, a dietary staple. Average consumption per person in some provinces, like Hunan, reaches nearly a quarter-pound of pork a day.

China has yet to retaliate over the Biden administration’s decision in early May to raise American tariffs on electric cars, lithium batteries and other products from China. China has criticized the U.S. tariffs, but has refrained from the rapid escalation in retaliatory tariffs that it pursued during the Trump administration. That approach in 2018 and 2019 ended up backfiring for Beijing. The Trump administration quickly broadened its tariffs, many of which have stayed in place ever since.

Beijing imports fairly little from the United States after years of government-led efforts to reduce dependence on imports, so it has had limited options for broad retaliation.
