glass display case

I have a model of a Cutty Sark that was given to me by my great-grandfather and I want to get a glass case made for it. The model is 18 1/2" high x

8" wide x 28" long. Can someone please tell me how much distance should be placed between the boat and the glass. Sorry if this is off topic

I was thinking of that but of the aquariums that I have seen I don't like the seams where the glass joins.

I have a fully rigged model of Mamoli's Royal Louis in a Plexiglas display case. Much less expensive and much lighter. The dimensions are 21" deep 47" wide and 37" high. The clearance is about 2 1/2' all around. These are outside dimensions for 3/16" thick Plexiglas. IIRC it cost about $215 to have fabricated. It looks great and if you specify the corner seams can be made virtually invisible. Pete

Thank you everyone. I think I will check into the Plexiglas option. I have had this boat sitting in a box for 20 years so I think I can wait a few more weeks.
