Google "Nano Vivarium". These would work great. A good quality upside glass bottle might work, but usually the bottoms aren't done well.

That's a great idea, thanks. What about basing it on a wooden base, where can I get those from and is there a howto on how to base it without wrecking it?

That's just some basic wood working skills. Come up with an idea and find a friend who can cut it out. You won't need much if you keep it simple. A foam base would work too, and you could cut it to shape. They sell blocks of that stuff at craft stores. :)

I live in HK so craft stores not so common here but will take a look. Best way to sturdily attach the model? Is it just screws?

Thanks for your help.

I would use a two part glue, not epoxy, that way, you could easily remove it with a sharp blade. If you could get Zip Dry, either in a store or by ordering it, it works best and is not a two part.

Zathros, found it on Amazon which is convenient for me to get. Thanks a lot for your help. Will post a picture when done (thought may be a few weeks yet).

I am glad to have been of help. This product is Non-Toxic, and contains no Lignen, which means it will not yellow on paper over time. It always remains clear, so don't worry if you use a lot. Now, don't go away, make sure you hang around, O.K.? :)

Nice looking model. I could see why you would wish to protect her. I embedded the picture for you. You can do so by pressing the little yellow box and pasting the address of the picture into it. :)
