Default Anyone here work with perspex ?

I need a model cover made out of clear perspex, doesn't have to be anything flash just a cover that will sit over a model to keep it clean and dust free. I have exact dimensions and it needs to be made to these as it's going in a specific location and any bigger it won't fit, and smaller the model won't fit ! To say it's tight is a bit of an understatement !


Failing that, anyone know where I can get one made for sensible money - it's part of a Christmas present and that alone already owes me £250 !

Click the plastic fabrication tab: they might make you a bespoke item.

Used to do it and so did RichardB off here, sounds like an easy piece to make and shouldnt cost much. If I was still there id have done it in a dinner for you. If you get realy stuck I could try get in touch with someone from there and get a price.
