Shadowbox for Hotwheels

This is made of ripped 1×4’s. It is 36” x 19 3/4” x 2 1/4” deep.
The back and dividers are 1/4” ply.
You may notice the dividers stand out about 1/8” above the frame. I have found that this helps keep the front aligned and closed.
The compartments are 3.25” x 1.75”.
The front lifts up so you can add or remove vehicles.

Yay! Thanks for posting this. LJs is so great. I literally just started drawing out a design for my mothers’s birthday present, I want to make a display case for her thimble collection…I figured I’d check LJs for inspiration and see what’s up and blammo, first new project! Nice job!

Real cool. I made one similar to display my sports cards. Isn’t it great to make your own custom displays? Nice job

This is a nice case. And it is a great idea as well to store, organize and display these toys. I have been “commissioned” by my wife to build something like this to help organize the Cars figures ( I believe that she has bought at least two of every one of them have been released) that she regularly gets for the grandchildren. This is certainly an inspiration and looks to be a well designed project.

awsome idea! Great job! At first i thought it was cool, but then i seen you added the glass front to keep out dust etc..- now it’s really bad ass!!!
Hope you dont mind if I make 1 or 2 as xmas gifts. Probably smaller size for some glass that is laying around the shop..
Thanks for posting- looks great!

think I’ll have to work on upgrading my small Cars display to something along these lines. Awesome work, Scott!
