Hi all,

I have managed to acquire some larger size clear plastic display
boxes, I have been looking for something like these for ages and they
are exactly what i was after. Following my last post on the subject i
had numerous emails from people looking for the same sort of box so
for all those interested here are the details. I have found 2
different sizes, large size being 23.5cm by 15.5cm by 2.5cm deep and
medium size being 13cm by 10cm by 2.2cm deep. I used black felt bonded
onto grey foam cut to fit and also sandwiched some dessicant beads in
there too. See the following photos of the medium size boxes:

The large size boxes are apparently available in 'Michaels' stores in
the USA (Thanks Ben!) and the medium ones i found on ebay (see link
below)

Both boxes come packed with small screw jars that could also come in
usefull. I got the grey foam with black felt bonded on from Mike
Gallant (http://www.migacorp.com/miga_store.htm)

Hope people find this usefull.

Cheers
