Alternative mounting for suppressors and inceptors

[Cpt Lazarus]

Finally getting back into the hobby after a few years off and digging through my Pile o shame and half finished projects. Are there any options for alternative flight stands for these kits out there? The clear plastic stands are rather junk.

On some 3D print sites you can find like these smokey jet effect things you could use.

I got some of those smokey jet effects from eBay. There’s a seller who 3D prints different versions for Inceptors and Suppressors. They’re really good.

I've been thinking about ordering these

There's always the option of pinning them to the feet to raised scenery bases

I have some of these in my pile of shame. First impressions are that they’re very good, but I haven’t gotten round to pinning and painting them yet.

Magents at the top of the stand and another sunk in where it connects in the backpack.

think I used either 2 or 3mm x 2mm in each. strong enough to support the model but detaches rather than breaks - never had a problem since.

I haven’t done it yet for Inceptors, but they’ve got the same size jet packs as jump intercessors and the outside edge sprues fit perfectly into them. So if you cut off one of the sprues just around a corner and then 3-3.5cm down, you have a stand that’s perfect for adding cotton ball smoke trails to.
