BAM! Lighted Display Case!
This display case DIY is a little different than previous ones because this time, I added a "white acrylic sheet" as a background and LED lights. The light shining on the white background gives a very cool effect. I also added a trading card this time to serve as a "Gambit" name plaque. Finally, I used a much thinner clear acrylic sheet (0.125" ... instead of 0.25"). This makes the case much lighter and in my opinion, it is also much clearer to view the statue than a thicker acrylic. Just be careful when cementing together thinner acrylic pieces, as they tend to warp if stored incorrectly.
