Thanks ^&grin.
 
I agree Wayne....Those Stuka stands should be offered as they work well with the planes :wink2:
 
The stands make the Stukas look like they are meant to be seen. It would be a shame if they weren't available.

Clive is looking at having the clear stands made. I believe he's just in the process of having them refined, so as to get maximum stability and to make them as discreet as possible. I'd contact Clive at Grey Goose if you're after them.

Wayne,

Sorry, forgot to add, I think the Roman Columns are for the Marco Polo figures. Can't remember if they're actually Marco Polo, but again, Clive is selling them.

Cheers
Simon

Hmmm....the train dio is yet to be realised. It's all part of the great master plan. I was planning on sticking a 5 foot train dio, elevated above a 5 foot Pegasus Bridge dio.

I'm planning to cunningly disguise them by placing a shoe catalogue and a handbag brochure on a stand next to the dios, so that attention is drawn away from the aquisitions. That should extend my life expectency by a few days, by which time I'll have come up with a winning arguement. Or have emmigrated. Or moved in to the shed......

Just need a little time to get them sorted. It will be built! ^&grin

Yeah, that's the safest location for mine at the moment until I can figure out how to slip it in to the display without it being noticed..... :rolleyes2:
 
Hi Guys,
Re the stands.
Wayne. you're right these were made for the show so as to display the stukas in a diving position. The winter one was made to show it in horizontal flight.

(Without a pilot in situ we have to assume he bailed out earlier.!!)

Problem I had was explaining to the acrylic manufacturer what I wanted and these are his 3rd attempts (probably as much down to my poor sketches as his lack of understanding)
I wanted something unobtrusive but stable and although these do the job there are a couple of drawbacks. The rear upstand is 12ins high the front 8ins so all the weight (although not heavy) rests on the front upstand. As it is made from 3mm acrylic there is some movement. This could be braced between the 2 upstands but then becomes too obtrusive.
The second issue is that the acrylic although polished edge is pretty harsh on the cowling of the plane so I'm improving on that with a small foam strip.
The 3rd issue is cost, these are coming in at circa £25, there would be some discount for volume but still not cheap with shipping on top.

So,not ready for broad distribution, let me continue to refine them and I'm quite happy to share details of the finished product so that you guys could have them made locally or I see if I can make it more viable.

Regards
Clive
 
Why not make three piece stands? Then you can ship in a flat package. Of course the base would be thicker where you have to atrtach the uprights, but this then could be used for a nameplate basis. If needed, you could then sell individual nameplates as an extra for each stand.

Any progress on these stands? After waiting for a K&C Stuka, I have instead bought a BOB Stuka from Figarti.

I have considered hanging these Stukas with 17 Lbs clear fishing linefrom the ceiling but I am unsure as to how I would attach the fishingline to the model...has anyone tried this or considered this option???....Too Risky to damage model?????....what are your thoughts gentlemen on this.
