Model base ASAP

[hrtpaul]

Righto peeps. EMERGENCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need to know where I'd get a base for Dad's 1/48 Sabre. I've just found out that Dad is coming down to Melbourne for a week this Monday and I need to get it finished before he goes back. I'll have the model done by Saturday night. It's just the base that I need. I'm mounting it the same as my Ansett 737 here (but a nicer base)

Oh and preferably cheap. Thanks guys

Want an Airfix stand or something similar?

[hrtpaul]

Thanks mate but the Sabre is all set up to be mounted on a pole in a bit of wood. Ta anyways

Paul, try any of the trophy suppliers shops that may be around your way. Either that or a craft shop, sometimes Spotlight have something.
All that failing, try a lumber yard for some scrap and ask them if they can knock something up as it's a special occasion, some of these guys can be very helpful.

Cheers

Why don't you go to Bunnings or Masters and buy a seat foot or small piece of Mirboo if there's any in the scrap bin, stain it and mount it on that? They have various sizes and shapes of the seat feet. Alternatively, if you have an old trophy or can get one with a decent base, use that.

Ta boys. I'll try the trophy shop first. Andrew I don't really have the time to make one myself and my wood working skills suck totally
