I also git two Spider models with no acrylic case covers. I just went to Tap-plastic and had two covers made.
I purchased a couple of Spider Navy models off of eBay recently. Unfortunately, the clear plastic cover over the wooden base was not included. Not wanting the models to sit with the delicate rigging exposed I looked for a way to protect them. I settled on the Trumpeter Master Tools 09802 Display Case. The inside dimensions of 10 1/8 inches long x 2 5/8 inches wide, x 3 1/4 inches high (257mm L x 68mm W x 82mm H) was perfect for the longer base (Battleships and Carriers) Spider Navy models. Trumpeter offers several different sizes in display cases including some with round bases. Price was $16.33 from eBay plus shipping. Brass wood screws were used to secure the Spider Navy base to the Trumpeter base and smaller brass screws were used to secure the clear plastic cover to the Trumpeter Display Case base.
