The final step is to finish the bases. How this is done is up to your preferences. I opted to paint mine blue.
I first masked off the rod using tape, and then primed the bases gray. Once the primer was dry, I then sprayed the bases using Krylon Fusion blue. (With Krylon Fusion, you don't have to prime first, but I did.)
Next, you can add any details to the base to indicate speed, aircraft number, direction of flight, or anything else you desire.
I opted to add the above using a silver metallic Sharpie pen - as you can see in the following photo:
The speed indicator dial is made from a pin measuring about 2" long. I cut about ¼" off the end, and bent it into a ring shape using a small pair of pliers.
Well, that about sums it up! If you have any questions or comments, or would like to share your ideas, you can email me at Teufelhund@wi.rr.com.
