We have been manufacturing custom sized display cases since the company was first set up in 20. We can make a custom display case in any of the styles listed below, so you can have the perfect fit for your display. If you need any cut-outs or additional custom work, besides the sizing, then please contact us.
The first thing we need to know to give you a price on your display case is if you need a base, and if so which base you would like. We have three styles of base, all of which are available in various colours, or we can supply a cover only, without a base. Please select one from the options below. Our display cases with a wooden base have a wooden trim around the outside of the base.
This display case is made to order to your sizes, standard manufacturing time is approx 7 - 14 business days, or you can select a faster manufacturing time from below. Please note that the shelf spacing is the space between the actual shelves, the shelf supports will reduce this space. The shelf supports are 20mm at the back sloping to 5mm at the front.
This poster frame is made to order to your sizes, standard manufacturing time is approx 7 - 14 business days, or you can select a faster manufacturing time from below. This custom sized acrylic poster frame is made to order to your selected sizes from clear acrylic.
The front panel is clear so you can see your photo, the back panel can be clear (for a floating picture effect), or can be black or white acrylic (recommended if your picture is likely to blend into your wall, or if you want some contrast) The clear acrylic front gives excellent protection from dust and UV light.These are made using 5mm thick acrylic for the back and 3mm thick clear acrylic for the front.

Did an online order for a bespoke display case for Mayflower model.
The website was well thought out, and easy to use.
The case duly arrived, safe and sound, with spot on measurements.
It has a black base, covered both sides with black felt.
The solid acrylic case is "folded" along the two longest top joints (less obtrusive) and "glued" elsewhere (almost invisibly).
The whole thing oozes quality, and was worth every penny !

Thank you for an excellent product, just what I needed for my ship,
Cutty Sark. The given dimensions just fit the ship exactly. The
Crystal Display Case came yesterday to my door by UPS, unharmed,
quickly and comfortably. The Crystal Display Case was excellently
packed, so there was no problem at all.
I will recommend you at the highest level regarding both product and
shipping.

Recently bought a display case for my WW2 model of Royal Canadian Navy Corvette Snowberry. The Widdowsons case is a fitting safe place for my treasured model. The standard of workmanship, and attention to detail of said case, is absolutely amazing. Also, the service is second to none - the care taken in packaging, ready for shipment, was particularly impressive. Can’t recommend this company too highly. Barry Daykin.

Great service from Widdowsons, arrived promptly, great display case and I can recommend them to anyone who wants an acrylic showcase.
Picture of mine showing off the Brawn section of my Jenson Button diecast collection. The showcase is housing my 1:18 Brawn on a stainless steel plinth. I am afraid that this display in in the darkest part of my wall display, so hence not very light.

From the the web site I obtained an instant quote for a custom display case for a large model aircraft. The quote was acceptable so I placed the order on line and was given a time of 7 to 14 days delivery. On the 12th day I received an email informing me that the case had been dispatched. It arrived safely very securely packed and the case is of excellent quality and first class workmanship.
I have no hesitation in recommending this company to all model makers.
Thank you Widdowsons.

I ordered 1 clear display box and 1 display box for my memorial poppy. They came very securely packed and are great. The only thing is I measured the display box a couple of
centimetres out so does not fit..my fault. I have ordered another.
They are great quality and I would not hesitate to recommend this company.
5 star rating
