Abstract: A transition module is provided for use in constructing a modular trophy base including one or more column modules having end plates at the upper and lower ends thereof. The transition module includes a hollow closed peripheral wall having opposite ends, the perimeters of which respectively define predetermined closed figures which are substantially different from each other in shape and/or size. Each of these ends is adapted for mating engagement with the end plate of an associated correspondingly-shaped column module, with the hollow end of the transition module disposed in surrounding press-fitted relationship with a raised portion of the end plate. Thus, the transition module may be used at each end of a single column module to provide transition between the column module and other members, or may be used to provide the transition between two different column modules.

Abstract: The trophy base has top and bottom members and a wall, defining a hollow interior filled with initially fluid material, such as gypsum, which is allowed to set. Bosses on the top and bottom members have bores extending therethrough, which bosses mate to minimize the initially fluid filler material from leaking out. An annular lip on one of the bosses encircles the other boss and serves substantially to eliminate fluid material from leaking out.
