Diorama Display Dust Covers: pre-made and custom made sizes ....
Earlier the question was asked if anyone knew of a vendor for custom made dust covers. Today I ran across this on-line site that offers various pre-made sizes and will custom build to the customer's need.
The pre-made sizes are listed under their "Dust Covers" link on the left side of their home page and custom made information listed under their "Museum Style Model Covers" link.
I've never used this vendor, but feel this could be a good source for a dust cover for a garage diorama. The website home page for this vendor is :

I have had two large size cases (ie. big enough for the 1895 Duryea and the Ford Quadricycle) made by an acrylic business (Memories Ink'd) in Kalamazoo, Mi and have been very happy. I just gave them the sizes I needed and two weeks later picked up my cases - each with with mirror on black bases cost about $65. One was 10"w. x 10"h. x 17"l. (Quadricycle) and the other was 10"w. x 13"h. x 14"l (Duryea). Quality was excellent on both with perfect seams and clear acrylic - highly recommended.

Check your local phone book for Plastic Shop
There is a small plastic shop in my county that will make anything you want. All I need to do is provide dimensions of what I want and they will quote a price. Usually takes about a week to have anyhting made

Excellent suggestion, I haven't thought of that. Thanks, Glenn.
