dnl42 Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 The aircraft is done! Now on to the base. I'm leaning towards a white base with the Mölders badge and Spook. I've thought about white and blue lozenges on the base, but I think that would be too busy with the graphics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Edit:Thought some more about the base. I was going to paint it and use extra decals from the HaHen set for the badge and Spook. But, then I decided I wanted the design as shown below. I'll now make the base as I did others, including the X-37B currently in my sig. With that, I'm going to print the image above as a photo and laminate it atop a white base. Since I'll print this at Costco, I've padded the image with a white border so that when it's printed as a 4x6 photo, the "flag" will be correctly sized to cover the 3x5 MDF base I made last night.

dnl42 Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Done! Edit: I remade the base with the image properly mounted. Edited July 11, 2017 by dnl42 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lancer512 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Very nice! I always like these small kits. They can turn out really great, which you just have proven. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Thanks! I'm glad you ran this GB, as it gave me a nice opportunity to add a colorful and unique subject to my display case. The HaHen decals were quite nice to work with, which as very important for this build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
