Title: Mounting spaceships
Post by: Last Hussar on 12 August 2026, 10:18:10 PM
Hi all.

Any ideas on how to mount spaceships on flying bases?

They have been mounted, but tend to fall off the small peg, so I'd need to redrill the hole. These are hefty lumps of metal obviously modelled on Star Wars Imperial ships,  varying 3 to 5ish cm long.

Is it the old style GW flying bases you mean? I'd get some florist's wire, drill a 1mm hole in the top of the base and the bottom of the ship, then pin and glue together. It's how I used to fix these things!

I have a pot of 1mm drill bits if you do not have any yourself, so don't go out and buy a pack. I think I've got the florist wire as well.
