Zeque Build Glow Powered

As previously mentioned, I have always marveled at the Japanese model stands. Bryan Hebert had a nifty stand for his Quest. My pal Bob Kohler, who is in my mind a "master" wood worker volunteered to build me a custom stand for the Zeque. Bob came over the other evening, reviewed my scribbles, gathered the Home Depot materials and returned yesterday with the results. He has already decided to build another "really" cool one to out do the example on the Oxai-Zeque home page.

The rubber molding is from BVM Models and enough to complete this stand was $15.00. It has a mind of it's own and required alot of verbal coaxing to get it to look pretty good. One Central Hobbies servo screw is placed on each end and tightened to pull just under the surface. A couple coats of MinWax clear urethane, quick scratch of 400 sand paper and a coat of SC Johnson paste wax to finish it off.

The stand is symmetrical and will make the model much easier to transport and wrench on at the field or at home Thank you Bob!
