jonny.amy Posted May 8, 2015 Author #212 Posted May 8, 2015 Cheers Ken - The only bits missing are a few sailors scattered around and then it's finished completely. Again, I'm waiting on payday for that order, but I'll be buying them in bulk as I want to put a few on Sherbourne when I eventually start it!

Griffon Posted May 8, 2015 #213 Posted May 8, 2015 Hello Jonny, I really like what you did with your Convulsion ! It make a very nice display on your shelf . Ben jonny.amy 1 Quote
jonny.amy Posted May 8, 2015 Author #214 Posted May 8, 2015 Thanks Ben, I wanted to do something different, and I managed to make something different with (in all honesty) very little effort. My intentions were to build a glass case for the model, but the price soon started to sky-rocket, so I went down for a different approach to displaying the model. Hence, the whole "shored-up" theme.... All I have to do know is find some glass for the front and maybe glue a black and white chart to the back of the board? I'll see what I can do, like most of the guys on here, I'm ship building on strict budget!

fnick Posted May 8, 2015 #215 Posted May 8, 2015 Hi Jonny Very nice indeed! Love the display approach. Instead of glass you could use perspex/acrylic. Easy to cut to size and lighter than glass. Can get it from places such as b&q (no affiliation ), etc. I used it for my display case. my two pennies worth! Nick jonny.amy 1 Quote Le Mirage by fnick - Corel - 1:75
