How to display a Model Ship.
Do you want to add pizazz to your ship
model it's quick and easy.

This was created with balsa sticks
cut a the same length placed close
to each other to make it look keel blocks from a dry dock. They were glued
to the base then the base was stained & varnished then the ship was glued
to the blocks or just placed on the blocks simple, creative and inexpensive.

USS Arizona by
Trumpeter in 1:200 scale, mounted on oak with basswood strips.
As you can see David very easily cut all the strips the same size and then
nailed them to a piece of oak an varnished the whole base, simple but elegant.
