model's display

I really don't know if a related thread alredy exist, I try to search and come bored after a dozen pages: so

Today I join to a national contest (0 possibilities to do something, a lot of stunning jobs :22yikes:, I'll post a report next week after prize-giving) so I have alsmost a day to think a display base for my crap: I try to do something by wood but... not, don't fit the GT-R spirit, so I siply turned out 4 bits, 4 crappy screws and a plexiglass board: I also print a GT-R logo over transparent and putted on, nothing more. I think it's not bad.

But what I like is if you friends would post your display system, at all benefit.
Thanks a lot.

Re: model's display

Wow! That is simple, yet very, very effective display!

And if you put a mirror under it, you could admire the work you have done under the model too!

Exactly what I wanted to say.

Looks really nice Gio! Modern, clean, attractive but main focus is still on models
Good luck!

Re: model's display

Fantastic display! Very cool idea with the printing on transparent film. Looks perfect for those cars.
