Majestic Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 I'd like to display a 1/48 on some realistic looking tarmac or carrier-marked surface. Is there a reasonably priced material or pre-built base out there for that? I would make my own, but am not sure my modeling skills are as good as what I might be able to find made already.

Skull Leader Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 those verlinden modern carrier deck displays are IMPOSSIBLE to find these days... I don't see them on their site, and I can't find anyone else that carries them. I wanted to get a few for some 1/72 aircraft dioramas I am building, but I can't find any!

David Hingtgen Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Close enough? GI Joe USS Flagg is I would guess around 1/200 scale. Maybe 1/300. Quite a ways from 1/48 or 1/72. It's not to scale unless you can fit half of an airwing or more on deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxojayz Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 One of the guys from my club uses rag resume paper and uses a black pen and a ruler to make lines on it and it turns out looking very convincing. He usually mounts it on foam core. For small change you can make a decent looking base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
