Rex, thanks so much. That's pretty much what is listed at Banana Hobby and MatoMart, but Hobby King, RC-Fever, and Amazon were all saying it was 21 inches long, so I was confused. They probably meant the length of the box or something. Anyway, now I know exactly I can proceed with the stand.

I attached a few photos of the glass "case" I built for my PZIII. I just need to make the wooden base for it. This has turned out to be surprisingly hard, probably because I am not really a wood-worker. They don't really sell a plank of wood that is as wide as I need for this tank - and it will be even worse for the KV-1. Instead I have decided to make the base out of MDF, and then face the edges with a nicer wood trim, like oak or something. Right now it looks kind of silly having the glass top but nothing for the bottom.

It took quite a while to make the glass box, but it wasn't very expensive. Now I know the dimensions I need to accommodate, I could go ahead and start on the case for the KV-1, and build a wooden base for it too, before I do the tank.

Airbrushler, thanks for telling me about that thread. I've thought it would be great to put in some cobblestone or something, at the least. I may still try.

There could probably be an entire thread on how to display our models...

Anyway, thanks again Rex.
