Title: WNW Fokker DVII (Fokker version)
Post by: Epeeman on February 04, 2013, 05:45:50 AM

All,

As promised, I've now moved this from the 'under construction' forum to completed models - I have now finished the display base to round it all off.

Please bear in mind this is my first attempt at a display for a model aircraft - I know it is not perfect!

Apologies for my lack of photography skills and hope I've not become a bore on this one!

Regards

Dave

Very nice finish Dave. Congratulations on a very impressive model. And BTW, the Base is excellent;  I use the same approach, plain green grass type material or yellow / brown depending on time frame illustrated. Simple but "sets off" the subject very well.
Cheers

There's nothing wrong with the base, Dave, it finishes it off nicely.

Cheers.

Dal.

Hello Dave:

Great job on the DVII.  First one I have seen finished and you did a great job.  Great recovery from the loss of the SPAD VII, got back in the ring, brushed the cobwebs off and went and turned out a stellar model.  The base is nice too.  I have to do one.

Best

Mark

Beautiful work Dave and an inspiration to the rest of us. Nice base too! I use old wooden picture frames which can be bought at thrift shops very cheaply. Remove the glass, lay the frame flat and create a display base within the timber frame.

Gentleman,

Many thanks - very much appreciated.

Dave - What a brilliant idea for a base!   I bought this one (plain unfinished MDF wood board) in a model shop and I thought £8 a bit steep, really - I'm going to give your idea a go on my next build.

Regards

Dave
