Rings of Saturn

How about like model airplanes are displayed on a desk? Mounted from the bottom or suspended from a black or silver chain?

How big it is might have something to say about the display too.

That project runs rings around many! Just couldn’t resist.

I would consider monofilament fishing line, either a single hanging straight down, or multiples suspending it in a fixed space.

Looking good Ron, agree with above either suspended by a fine near invisible line or can you make it a stand so it revolves and reflects light???

Really cool piece, Ron!!

I like to keep my bases as inconspicuous as possible so the viewer sees the object and not the base. My suggestion is a dark walnut base , i.e. take a small small cube of walnut, chop off some of the corners in an irregular way, make small hollow for Saturn to sit in loosely. The irregular cut block with it’s geometric sides will provide elevation. Or a piece of mahogany with an orangish stain (gunstock orange) would allow the white to be dominant. Roman

Hey Ronald, suspend it using a magnet with a tether from below like fellow LJ Peter Brown did here.
