Custom Acrylic Case for 1:6 Hot Toys Batmobile

Thanks to Arthur and Pro Bro for the suggestions, and my 1:6 Guru for recommending Abes Plastics for fabricating this custom acrylic case for my Hot Toys 1:6 Batmobile.
I felt it was necessary to purchase this custom case to keep dust away from the Batmobile and offer a bit of protection in case anyone tripped over their own feet in awe and landed on it. I provided the dimensions (rounded up in centimetres) of the Batmobile's package to Abes Plastics and they delivered the item within three working days.
EDIT: Heeding Jon's warning (see comments) about the potential of the rubber tires fusing to the plastic and his advice about wedging pieces of paper between the wheels and base, I added a old free poster to the base.
This is how it looks now.
