Courtesy of Peter Ventri at Atlantis Models, a number of new product releases were provided to us at the Madison National Convention. This review covers both the "plain base" and the "cobblestone base" versions of these display cases, the only difference being the street surface under the model.

Both cases are molded in clear acrylic, measuring 9 1/8” L x 3 7/8” H x 3 5/8”. The extra height allows for open hoods and trunks as well as for (obviously) taller vehicles to be displayed. Each case is nicely packaged not only in a secure box but a clear plastic wrap that eliminates scratches and scuffs from shipping damage. An added bonus is that the cases can be stacked (see images). Also supplied is several lengths of thin craft wire with instructions on how to secure a model to the base for more secure handling and transport.

The cobblestone base could be enhanced with a wash to accentuate the street pattern if you wish, but I left it unchanged for this quick review. I'm running out of display space in my model cabinet (sound familiar?) so these are a great option to allow me to display car kits on bookcases, tables etc.

If you're looking for a quick, easy and durable way to display an automotive subject (or anything else that fits the case dimensions, these are great solutions. Thank you, Peter, and Atlantis, for your ongoing support to IPMS/USA!
