My compliments, too on the Stearman -- a great build. The set of bases sure looks like the one available via Hudson Valley: Index of /base01

Yes, Yale, those are definitely the ones. I don't remember downloading them from Hudson Valley. I'm wondering if they weren't offered on another site at one time. Oh, well, maybe my memory's failing .

Thank you Garland for sharing this great model. I made the yellow bi-plane and gave it as a thank you gift for my doctor. Would there be any chance to could give a link to where I can download the base? I might have to add it to the model but I can think of a lot of other models that it would really set it off. You did an outstanding job on the aircraft. Thank you very much. wc

Thanks for the compliment, WC. Yale provided this site for the bases just above: http://www.jleslie48.com/base01/

There are two sizes and several colors you can download.

Thank you Garland and Yale for the great bases. These are really beautiful and I can use these on a few different models I have in mind. Thank you both very much. wc
