Just an update on this thread, I thought I would knock up a backdrop showing the far bank of the Nile River. Found on the Internet and printed off then mounted on card, which stands behind the case. Not the best photo as I had a lot of problems with reflections and glare but you get the gist of it!

Jeff - been following along - stunning! The case, the base and the back drop is amazing - finishes the entire scene off nicely! Thank you for giving one of our favorite creations such a fitting home.

Wonderful display. I love it. It brings out the best of the collection. Congratulations.

Are you going to install a loudspeaker system making motor noises, gun shots and waves? ^&grin

Well thank you Richard :smile2: but really the thanks should go to the talented creators behind the model, the display case and river scenic items. All I did was put them all together. The centrepiece of my collection for sure and a real talking point for visitors most of which don’t have any interest in our hobby.

Cheers :smile2:

John Gittins has made a wonderful job on the river mat, the photos don't really do it justice.

Excellent display Jeff. Everything goes together so well. I saw the one displayed at the London show and is a great looking piece. It was also nice to meet you and the others there. Thanks for sharing your outstanding display.

Thanks Duke. :smile2:

I had been admiring the WBritain display for a number of shows – I still can’t believe I’ve got one.

It was nice to meet you as well and I hope you had a great time during your stay over here.

I feel almost part of it as well due to me helping you carry it to the bar last March

I’ve been flicking through the WBritains catalogue and really liked the look of the accessories set available for the Zulu War range. A small brain wave later and the Gunboat has a few more stores on board, the remainder will find a suitable placement in the Desert Column display.
