Mark Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Hi all, Here's my first attempt at using Starbuck's coffee stirrers for a generic airfield base to display 1/32 aircraft. One thing I will say, which I never thought I would here on Britmodeller, is that my little Chopper sure came in handy!! The other thing that I bought recently was a mitre saw in order to cut the frame corners nicely at 45 degrees. Best investment for the tool box this year so far! Here's the base, comments very welcome as I'm quite new to this. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon382 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Your first attempt? Really? Lookscgood enough to have been shop bought. Very nice work. The Spitfire's not too shabby either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Thanks Simon! I say first attempt, I have had a go at putting grass like effects onto a shop brought plinth, but the base is MDF, framed with oak, which in hindsight I should have done last, after the groundwork had been done. I do think that those Starbucks stirrers look good after some stain though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
