USNCHief013107 Posted June 2, 2022 #1 Posted June 2, 2022 What are the recommendations to select the size of the display board you are going to display a ship on? Cheers!
mtaylor Posted June 2, 2022 #2 Posted June 2, 2022 I think the criteria is up to you. Depends and what else you wish to feature (rough seas, and land or other items of interest) and how much room you have for the display.

druxey Posted June 2, 2022 #3 Posted June 2, 2022 Just don't make it too tight to the model. mtaylor 1 Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv
Chuck Seiler Posted June 2, 2022 #4 Posted June 2, 2022 It also depends on if you are using your display board as the base for a case. In this case the board would have to be big enough to accomodate a case of sufficient size. IIRC, you should allow 2 inchs beyond all extensions of your model. mtaylor 1 Chuck Seiler San Diego Ship Modelers Guild Nautical Research Guild Current Build:: Colonial Schooner SULTANA (scratch from Model Expo Plans), Hanseatic Cog Wutender Hund, Pinas Cross Section Completed: Missouri Riverboat FAR WEST (1876) Scratch, 1776 Gunboat PHILADELPHIA (Scratch), John Smith Shallop
