You don't need to do plexiglass: you can get clear vinyl from Lowes or just about any Home store. It's thick enough that you can tack it onto the front of a cheap bookcase and it keeps the dust off. I couldn't even think of putting models out without dust protection; it's going to ruin the models everntually, getting into the finish and you can't get it out ater a while.  Here's a small bookcase I have with clear vinyl on it.

I actually use "Billy" bookcases from IKEA with the doors installed. They run about $80 apiece, and the doors are seperate pieces that go about $60 a side, so realistically you're into about $200 each. You can get extra shelf units for $10 a piece, so what you see here cost me about $220 each.

Very nice!! How deep are those shelves? I do mostly 1/48 aircraft but have a 1/32 that i'm wondering will fit or not.

The shelves are 11 inches deep. You can see a 1/48 Tomcat there in the bottom shelf. I had to display it sideways.
