Display Stand for Endeavour Occre 1:54

[Umb80]

Hi everyone,
I wonder if anyone can help me in making a display stand for the Occre Endeavour 1.54 Is there a template around that I can use? Can I buy a stand and from where? Has anyone made one and can point me in the right direction?
Any help will be greatly appreciated .
Thank you in advance

Cut your own supports to fit your hull shape. Use a contour gauge to copy the shape.

Some kits include a stand but are often cut from plywood and don't look very nice. I usually copy these, or use a profile gauge on the finished model and cut the supports from a piece of 9mm hardwood. An alternative for an OcCre model is to download the instruction pdf and adjust the scale of the page showing the bulkheads. Print this off, select a relevant pair of bulkheads to use as templates. Cut the profile of a stand from cardboard. Test on the model and repeat the process with a tweak to the pdf scale until a good fit is obtained then cut the supports from wood. The sternmost support often needs to be 'tapered' on its upper surface to get a snug fit to the changing hull shape over 9mm.

I'm probably too late to be of any help, but I still wanted to share this. Two brass pedestals and a second hand slab of marble for 5 euros. This is Endurance, but I am currently also buiding Occre Endeavour.
