Flying modelling for jump troops.

[Brother Raul]

Hi All,

           Both a post for my own learning and a little hack I found. I've found citadel flying bases both cheap and suitable to cut down.

 

Have included a photo of both a glued trimmed stem (hate the casting bubble) and a drilled pegged stem.

 

Little worried about how strong the trimmed and glued base will be as it's got to handle a lot of weight at that point but the drilled and pegged bases are super easy and don't even need glue so won't ruin your paint job.

Forgot to mention that I also drilled the foot up into the calf for the top peg.

 

Don't even need glue for that but have to file/ shave down the peg a bit to fit the biggest citadel dremel.

 

Any comments or feed back greatly welcome.

Looks like quite a pragmatic solution  

 

I'd imagine the strength should be fine - those pegs were used to support the old metal Carrion and BFG battleship models

2mm brass rod painted black works well.

I wouldn't worry about the peg snapping, Drukhari Raiders are mounted on them and they hold the weight just fine.
