Me too. I like to be able to have a name on the base, too. Card is a bit thin, though, so you end up handling the model - if I ever manage to put masts on...
You might try using formica as a base material. It is very stiff and resilient and also thin enough not to detract from the look of the model. You can get...
For the wake I just roughly spread around some Humbrol flat white paint. It doesn't cover dark colours too well on the first coat which good for this...
