Anyone know where I can get something like this made? My kid would LOVE to display his Saturn V like this.

That would be a great idea! DH's is currently on top of the TV stand hiding behind the pictures.

Now that I look closer that kind of looks like what I would call a china cabinet they took the shelves out.

I would check with the glass people anyway. Some of them work with plexiglass as well.

I found one that's pretty darn close! (it pretty much looks like it's just the other one upright but has the stand too)

That IS really cool. I'll admit I had a hard time seeing the display case in the first photo: my eyes kept going to that dog on top of the cat tree LOL |

I would think that most glass shops would also have plexiglass. When my Dad has his glass shop they would also build plexiglass cases.

The one in your OP probably has a stand too, it is just concealed by the lighted material making it look like a rocket at lift-off. |

Not sure exactly. I just started thinking about this at work yesterday and wasn't measuring anything. The rocket is 39" long and 6" in diameter, so it just depends on if I want it to just fit like the premade ones or have lots of extra room like the one in the first post. |
