PageT Posted March 27, 2013 Share #1 Posted March 27, 2013 Idf this is in the wrong forum please move it. I'm sort of getting back into ship modeling after thirty years. I am building Model Shipways Pride of Baltimore and need a display stand 24" X 9" X 1/2" Thick. Looked at most of the vendors but none are over 6" wide. I hate to try and make one as I have no router etc. I'm using the practimum of Lauck for my build and he is using this size and I want to continue along with his directions as they are really helping me get back into modeling again especially witgh all of the new kits-tools-and methods to build. While I am asking does anyone know where you can get already built ship cannons which include the 1" barrels-carriage and tucks.

I am also interested in a display case, but with different dimensions. Is there, or was there, a thread along those lines before, or can you help Page T and me start this one?? I can make one but need suggestions about how to join the corners, etc. BTW Welcome back to modeling. After thirty years you are probably a bit 'rusty' .,. like me and my poor hands . . .
