Well folks, the Indy is now mounted and waiting for her plexi case sometime in January. I chose to mount the model on a nice plank of Sapele and trimmed the edges with copper tape. I found a brass medallian on the internet that is authentic as a commemoritive piece from the Indy Society. It says " USS Indianapolis CA-35, Sunk July 30, 1945, Still at Sea." I thought that very fitting for this model. I secured the model on two brass supports. This was a very rewarding modeling experience for me and I hope you folks enjoyed it as much as I did. I will step back aboard when I start my new project... still undecided and waiting for the boating kitty to grow, before the commander releases the funds to me. Best regards, Dennis
