A car display stand like in the JP Pace museum (https://jp-pace.de/pace.html), mainly created for the 1/18 scale cars from JP Kraemo (https://jp-kraemo.de), also fits the 1/18 scale Boost Wars, but it's close. As the cars are Minichamps 1/18 scale cars it should also fit other models.

For lightning I used a 12v addressable RGB strip and a WLED ESP32 controller, I designed the base so you have an in- and output, so the bases can be connected in series and only one WLED controller need to be used. I used standard 4 pin RGB exentsion connector, e.g. used in PC's to connect to the mainboard. A JST style connector would be better, but I would had to buy some specially for that.

For the top I bought a satin 3mm plexiglass plate, which is 28 cm x 12,50 cm with a corner radius of 1,3 cm, which just slights loose on top, I bought it in germany at https://www.plattenzuschnitt24.de/PLEXIGLAS-GS-satiniert-weiss-3mm.html.

Last but not least I added white paper to the bottom on the inside, as a reflective layer.

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

With the first version it was not easy to align the 2 base parts for glueing them together, therefor I added 3 bowtie like connectors.

The connectors will help increasing the glue contact area and helps with the alignment, the bottom bowtie might need a little re-work after printing, as of the thinness this should be easily be done with a utility knife.

Added also the top plate as printable version, following the principles of https://www.printables.com/model/273948-test-model-for-transparent-petg-printing and adding 1-2 layers of white PETG, would recommend having the white PETG on the build plate for best surface finish on the visual side.
