Good Evening All,
Thank you for accepting me to the forum. I'm afraid that I'm not much of a models guy, but I am looking for something that I have so far been unsuccessful in finding after about three hours of Google searching. I'm hoping that the community here may be able to point me in the right direction.
I'm looking for a departure gift for a naval coworker. As he's moving from a ship to a desk job, we'd like to get him a desk pen holder which features a mast as its main point. Something simple, as close as possible to the mast seen here (apologies for the low resolution picture):
http://www.hmcsventure.com/VentureMast.htmAs it's looking less and less likely that such a thing exists on its own, I'm probably going to end up adding a model mast to a pre-made pen holder. However, I still haven't found a mast on its own that would be suitable for such a purpose. I'm probably looking in the 30cm tall range, preferably made of wood or metal. Does anyone know where I could find such a thing for sale? I don't have access to a whole lot of tools aside from a drill to mount it to the base, but I'm amenable to gluing and staining if that's required.
Any advice is much appreciated.
Thank you!
