Display Bases


"Presentation is Key", an adage that applies equally well in the field of modelmaking! We have an exclusive range of hardwood-edged display bases.

Our affordable ready-to-use hardwood-edged exhibition display bases will both enhance and protect models and dioramas of all genres.

Available in sizes to suit most modelmaking and model engineering subjects and scales:

  • Rectangular bases: 100mm x 75mm up to 600mm x 300mm

  • Square bases: 150mm x 150mm up to 600mm x 600mm

We welcome enquiries from model clubs, societies, special interest groups, museums and exhibition holders for multiple base orders. From time to time we sell our smaller stock size display bases individually at model shows in the UK.
