That's fantastic GH! It's really great to hear you blessed your friend with your build.

Your a good man my friend! Beer

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

While posting the pic, I noticed that his flag didn't have a case, and was getting ready to say that I was going to start looking for one this w/e to take to her on the 26/27th when we both have to be at a meeting.  She is on the other side of the state from where I live, so we only see each other 3-4 times a year.

Found I had a PM, and behold, one of the other members here offered to send me one for her. Since the offer came by PM, I won't name who it was, but I was honored to accept on her behalf.

More proof the folks here are some of the best I have ever run across.

My friend finally found my email asking for a picture of the boat along with her Father's flag.  Here it is.  Put a smile in this old man's heart, and puts a final wrap on the build.

Where/what did you get the case/base?

Found it in the model section at Hobby Lobby.  They have several sizes, generally for car/truck models.  IIRC I gave around $13 +/- for it.

The flag case arrived from the other member here.  Took it to the meeting, but she didn't make it because she fell in the ice/snow and tore up a knee.  Sent back with one of the USFS guys so they could pick it up at the office.  Emailed her and got a reply today that it brought tears to her eyes (I explained how it came to be), as she had no idea where to find one.  She will send another pic when it is cased and I'll post it up here when I get it.

She picked it up, and thought you would be interested in the final pic of the model and the flag in it's case.
