Yeah i first discovered them back when Tiby was forming the megatron club and recommended their acrylic case but yeah their prices are certainly out of the question. they have lots of nice stuff though. pity

the cabinet I designed for them isn't structral enough as they use a frameless
Design as opposed to the largest manufacturer 'showfront' who frame in aluminium so they can span larger distances.
But realistically the question at hand is whether I go the acrylic route or I'm overly pananoid and they're not overly likely to yellow out of direct sunlight under household lights.
Been speaking for numerous people who have jetfires under lights with no issues.
Have anyone here had a toy yellow on display before their eyes out of direct sunlight?

Sorry dude, dont have a photo thread cos A) i cbf signing up with flickr etc and B) my camera broke a few months back and the one my GF lent me doesnt take great shots under artificial light....
You might want to look into using UV-Resistant Clear Coat Spray Paint that the hobby shop and art stores sell.
But instead of using it to spray directly over your toys (which is what they were meant for), you spray the inside face of your windows and the outside of your light fitting covers instead...
Muhuhaha.... it may actually work...
hmm... now if only i had a white junker TF to try it out on it first....

Actually thats a really intelligent idea. no matter what i'm going to track down that stuff and spray it on my light fittings and windows. IF its truly clear i may do a cabinet with itYou might want to look into using UV-Resistant Clear Coat Spray Paint that the hobby shop and art stores sell.

hmmm hope i can actually find some. let the hunt begin.
if it fails then atleast it's a great placebo which what i'm really looking for: something to calm me down
IF anyone else likes Bruticus' idea, i found an australia online retailer:

$15.57
who know, could be a small amount to pay for a big pay off

ah yes, your paranoia should be at ease now Linthart...
Go nuts with the spraying but always remember to use PPE!!
I saw a can of Mr Hobby - Mr Super Clear UV Cut (that does the same thing) in a hobby shop today but it was like double the price (per mL) compared to the Krylon version on the net....
I wonder if its cos its really good quality stuff or just branded hype?
Hopefully i can find a local shop that sells Krylon cos i just found a white junker TF that i can experiment with....

Thankfully the shipping is only $10 for upto 4 can via courier as you cant send sprays through the post. i was worried the shipping costs would be extreme
