I just decided to make my first model wood ship then stumbled across your videos. You are an inspiration to watch, I thank you for passing along your tips and knowledge.
Woodworking styles can differ so much, and still achieve the same end. I would have built the cruciform parts as individual assemblies, with a dowel through the main bit to the two scrap buttresses. I'd probably have used a 3/8" cove bit with pilot bearing to round over the exposed edges, too. That's just a matter of woodworker style, not a wrong/right opinion. You might want to put a 6 piece Forstner (drill) bit package in your Wish List--they are so elegant for wide diameter stepped-tenon holes.
Thank you! Tools greatly simplify and speed up work. This is important to have when ship modeling becomes a job rather than a hobby. I glued my first stands from strips of 10x10 mm to the desired shape, because they could be cut with a Coping Saw...

Nice stand, it helps to have the woodworking tools.
Thank you!

Start small and buy only what you need until you know what you want.
