Anybody know of or have an answer for stowing GL models in some kind of visible (see-through) carrying/storage case like the Jammers-style sewing boxes that work so well for 3-inch cars? |

The ones posted above can also be found at WAL-MART'S they also do come in 4 diff sizes that I buy with compacts being wider/narrower one is small that will only fit the common HW MB so called 1:64 range aprox 2.5" 3.25" cars and the other 3 boxes like above again there is width differences but I use for Longer cars not fitting into the 22 slots of the small Space JAMMER 23/24 is the double length slot i use for me 1:32/35 range 1:43 range 1:50 range langer sized and TRACTOR TRAILER , TRANSPORTER, Big RIg , 18/20/22 wheelers , combos , semi trucks , cars characters that are longer length that don't fit in jammer The old JL display case is now sold molded by AW Auto World and GL green light - they are 6 car clear display case that will attach together I have seen people post they get them now at HOBBY LOBBY Me a prefer plain ol' JAMMER CASES Noteś on the 6 CAR display cases REAL RUBBER tyres tires can cause a Reaction and the plastic case will slowly have a melt from a ( #a plus #z == reaction ) So if putting real rubber tyres I would suggest placing paper under real rubber tyres to prevent the two compounds from making a chemical reaction enlarge THE TYRES do not melt only the PLASTIC Edited by coldpopcarl, Dec 22 2016, 05:18 AM.

I've got a bunch of those plano jammer cases; you can order the cases in bulk direct from plano cheaper than wallys, and I've also used some of the other Plano cases for trucks and other oversize vehicles. I've also got a bunch of the plastic "itso" trays from target. they don't have dividers, but you can get a lot of stuff in them, and they stack up one on top of the other. they used to have an opaque version, and then they stopped carrying them. now they have 'em again but only in a greenish opaque and solid colors. still great for $3 or less. I also use a lot of those scrapbook cases- they are flat with attached lids, and you can get them by the case also from amazon, etc. NEW Mystic Beach Diorama Layout: Under Construction I know it's not a great pic- but you can get an idea of the size of them. |

I have this issue too, currently any GL/M2 that doesn't fit in the traditional Jammers case is individually wrapped in a paper towel and rests inside a Banker's Box. |
