Majestic Posted November 7, 2004 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.
B-52 GUNNER Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 Here is a Verlinden 1:72 flight deck. http://www.planetvp.com/sess/utn;jsessioni...3_1_602x435.jpg They may have what you want. Verlinden
buddhafabio Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 some one on t5hese boards bought a gi joe uss flagg that looks close enough to scale
Skull Leader Posted November 8, 2004 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 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.
baxojayz Posted November 8, 2004 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.
Myersjessee Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 Thats a great idea...I like the Verlinden stuff a lot...I need to find someone who carries it.
neptunesurvey Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 http://www.greatmodels.com/ Just do a search for carrier deck. If its not listed just drop them an email.
Majestic Posted November 8, 2004 Author Posted November 8, 2004 From greatmodels.com 1/48 cds5009 Modern Carrier Deck Section (Modern) There's no details on what this is made of...I imagine its just paper?
