Hello Timson72, I am contemplating base sizes right now. Can you let me know your sizes, a pic would also do nicely. What info have you put on your plaque?
Many thanks

I have made bases for this car before and found that 25 inches long by around 11 inches wide seemed to be about right and practical for display. just a suggestion hope it helps.  steve ps the car is not mine ,but was built by a forum member who kindly sent me pictures of his car on display.

Thanks guys, appreciate the feed back. Would you let me know the height.
The finished car looks spectacular when completed. We are currently on issue 70 here.

not too sure if it is in its finished state or not, I know he noticed in the picture he had the tyres on the wrong way around, apart from that it looks finished to me, but I`m no expert :-)

Looking at the displayed car i think the only thing he needs to finish is the decals around the Vodafone logo on the sides & the black decal lines at the top.Looks perfect other than that.Stu
