I had an idea from Mike Ashey's "Model Shipbuilding" book, and I wanted to mount my USS Arizona on a plaque. Having years of woodworking experience, this is easy and affordable. I went out to Home Depot and picked up a base ($6.99 USD), some Oak Stain (Mahaghany looks awesome too), a 99 cent brush and some rags all under $10.00 to really enhance the presentation of my model. It's going to look pretty awesome, because I am finishing it this week (*crosses fingers*). The base is sanded to absolute 400 grit perfection. I am debating sanding it to 600 grit to get that look and feel I am going for. Smoother than my chin after shaving, or a babies rear!! (THAT, ladies and gentlemen is smoooooth.)
