New Flight Bases, first catch your pterosaur then go to Amazon.

 

Lovely Pterosaurs  and their riders - but - my old flight bases just aren't up to the job.  I noticed recently that my witches and Dominar Rigel need to upgrade.  Dearest Matt Hay has some I've long admired.  I can either hate from afar, plot my revenge and then take same from his cold hand or, take advice and make my own.  Difficult choice!

Six of the bases have letter beads - and there are 6 unmanned flyers.  These are for Rogue Stars and/or Paleo Diet.

Amazon so here's what I bought:

AHANDMAKER 25 Pcs Acrylic Airplane Model Holders Transparent Stand Display Basements for Dolls Mini Display Holder Circular Flight Base with Peg (30mm)

Mebamce 570pcs 304 Stainless Steel M... Qty: 1

Wukong Mini Magnets 8mm x 3mm Strong... Qty: 1

The smaller bearings didn't work, not a strong enough grip.  I went to 9mm and they were fine.  But that leaves me with several sizes of smaller--  I can get even smaller magnets for ground level. 

Each base has a 2p underneath, for weight and to fit into a movement stand.  Good layer of Hard as Nails (as always)  the rocks bring the balance down.  Past memories of Full Thrust and others - crashing models and bits flying off!

I found these old pill boxes bought for this very reason!  These give near- ground and I'll do grounded - and nests later.

Fairly bland flock.  I want them to look OK but not to detract from the model.

It's one thing to mount a large vehicle, but smaller?  As mentioned above I tried other sized balls but they didn't work.  Not finished, a wisp of  cotton wool to be added with uhu glue- don't use superglue.  The bond is strong enough to allow painting.
