I just took the 1"x12"x8' and the 1"x8"x8' and cut them into 2-foot lengths, going 1" smaller in depth for each piece, screwed them together at 1" offsets making sure the backs were flush, with the 2"x2"x2' on top, painted them (well, Deb painted them... I don't enjoy painting... the smell puts me off) and drilled and screwed the Plexiglas to them.

It was an easy project. And now my ships are safe from Cthulu. I mean... our cats. Yeah. That's it.

Yes, the sailing ship on top of the case is out of scale. But it was so damned cute...
