Not exactly painting & modeling but I can't see a more appropriate place for this...

So I have a big glass display cabinet for my miniatures (mostly 40k). It has several shelves all about a foot high. I have now exhausted most of the 'ground level' space on the shelves but since most of my minis are only 1-2" tall there is still a lot of empty space that I cannot use without just piling things on top of each other. My short-term solution is to use upside-down tupperware tubs to give me a little extra floor plan (on top plus underneath), but they don't look great and a lot of the space is still being wasted. I tried bodging something together with some slabs of corkboard and wire coathangers but it was nowhere near sturdy enough.

Can anyone recommend an easy way to make some study, preferrably multi-level platforms out of readily available materials? Or are there any products out there that would be ideal for this purpose?

Thanks for any advice.

What about something like these

Those are what I was going to get but I need a new cabinet instead,

That one you linked is not exactly what I wanted but it was close enough that I was able to search similar terms to find something similar. Thanks

Cool. Glad it Was useful. Please post pics when you sort your solution

I need to grab something like that. My Ultras are getting cramped, and they have already taken over 2/3rds of my china cabinet. While I could give them a little more room, I do need to reserve some space for the glassware.

And my ‘Nids are looking to carve out some space for themselves...

I used clear plastic/plexiglass shelves,
and used cake pillars (to hold the cake layers apart - they come in multiple heights and look like Grecian columns)
to hold up the shelves,
got it all at Michaels (US) and works well for me!
