Hello Everyone,
I am now finishing the sanding on my Yankee Modelworks Akula sub. I am now wanting to mount it to a wood base and like the idea used on the box top. The sub mounted on brass pillars on a wood base. So I am wondering how to mount the sub onto the pillars. Is it as simple as drilling two equal spaced holes in the sub hull and glueing two metal rods into the holes and covering the rods with the brass pillars and then the whole works to the base? I hope this makes sense. It is a resin kit as I said and have never mounted anything to a base let alone something with a curved surface. Any help or how to articles would be greatly appreciated.

Best Wishes,
Walter
