I decided to put the two NASCAR Style haulers in one case, I think they show better this way. This is a 70 inch wide case so you can see when the rear ramp is open on the trailers it takes up almost the entire width of the case.

Very nice indeed! I remember you said that any 1/18 figure set-ups are not logical because you move your showcases often. That's too bad, just a couple figures would go a long way to enhance the overall authenticity. And YOU have PLETTY of authenticity! 😏 😀 😏 😀

@chris It is not how much these cases are moved it is the size and weight, there is no way anything would stay in place or to have a figure stay in place or standing. The weight of these cases on carpet make so you can only slide them a little bit at a time because there is no place to grip them except at the Botton where there is a small lip.

...you realize this begs the question:
- Why are you moving showcases anyway? 🤔 🤔
- And if you have to move them, "carpet slider discs" are the way to go. They'll make your job 1000% easier.

@chris The big cases rarely are moved, I just decided to put the two tractor trailer rigs in one case and moved a shelf over to the other 70 inch wide case. The problem with carpet sliders are both cases are very close to other cases that are too big to move without unloading them. Plus the entire front and back of the case sits on the floor. It is not as cut and dry as it sounds to move these 70 inch wide cases. They are store display cases and not really designed for use against a wall.
