donrobinson Posted April 11, 2017 #151 Posted April 11, 2017 Great looking model! I believe 1-2" clearance on all sides is the norm Nirvana and Tigersteve 2 Quote Completed: MS-AVS, Amati Trabaccolo, Dusek ship's boat, AL-Mayflower, Batelina - MarisStella, MarisStella-Trabakul Liburnian Novilara - MarisStella, 17th Century Battle Station, Ragusian Galley-MarisStella Current: Barque Stefano - MarisStella, On Hold: Amati Pegasus
MEDDO Posted April 11, 2017 #152 Posted April 11, 2017 Once I get to the point where I need to case one of my models. I was going to look into this place. http://www.casesforcollectibles.com/ It's just down the road from me and I could probably just drive there and avoid delivery and shipping charges.

Tigersteve Posted April 11, 2017 Author #153 Posted April 11, 2017 It's nice when you can just visit these places in person. I'm still trying to figure out how much buffer to leave on each dimension. I haven't found any standards on this online yet. Probably a personal preference. I think I need to do a mockup to see it in 3D. Don, thanks for the info. I will think on this.

Cathead Posted April 11, 2017 #154 Posted April 11, 2017 That looks fantastic. The setting is nicely done, realistic and creative without distracting from the model itself. I've had fun following this one, you've done such a nice job.

Mike_In_RI Posted April 11, 2017 #155 Posted April 11, 2017 Well done, you should be very proud! Great attention to detail and it shows all the thought you have been put into it. Super presentation.

Tigersteve Posted April 11, 2017 Author #156 Posted April 11, 2017 Thank you everyone for such nice comments. I am very happy with the outcome. Hoping I can plank the pinnace just as well or better. After doing some experimentation with a manila folder, I decided on the dimensions of the case. It will be 10" x 6" at its base and 5" tall. This leaves 1" clearance around the base and 2" clearance around the boat.

shipman Posted January 5, 2021 #163 Posted January 5, 2021 That's a lovely rendition of the kit, Steve. I especially like how busy it is and how it's displayed. It would be interesting to see some variety with the colours/finish. No disrespect to you, Steve; but it's getting to be 'once you've seen one, you've seen them all'. BobG 1 Quote
Ryland Craze Posted January 5, 2021 #164 Posted January 5, 2021 Wow Steve, Your Longboat is uniquely different from the other Longboat builds on this site. I really like the display. Job well done.
