Designing a better generic flying base
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2011 9:44 am
Well after discovering the ridiculous price GW are charging for flying stands these days I decided that I would make my own (see the accompanied rant on . I will use my lathe to turn up a 25mm disc for the base and use some 2mm diameter brass rod for the stem. I figured it would be handy to incorporate some bearing marks into the base but what do you think:
- Bearing marks protruding or depressed?
- Bearing marks for each fire arc, plus 12 o'clock, 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock?
Anything else that might be nice to include? I was thinking it might be cool to do a variant with tiny asteroids and such embedded into the base?
I do remember that a guy by the name of russ_c over on Port Maw was doing a project like this, but the port is gone so I can't access it...
