Display's and Pedestals
Apart from displaying the model ship, these structures also serve as a means of protection. Models ships are delicate and can easily be damaged, especially when handled by multiple people. Display’s and pedestals provide a safe and secure spot for the model ship to be placed, reducing the risk of it being accidentally bumped or knocked over. This is especially important for larger and more intricate model ships, which require more support and stability.
In addition to display’s and pedestals, name plates are also an important aspect of model ship building. These small plaques are typically placed on the pedestal or display, and contain information about the model ship such as its name, year of creation, and the builder’s name. Name plates not only add a professional touch to the display, but also serve as a way to give credit to the builder and provide context for the model ship. They can also include fun facts or historical information about the ship, making it more interesting and educational for viewers.
