The Story so Far: I bought the rather fantastic and in the sale:

I wanted to mount these as close NOE skimmers. These are light resin. I could have added magnets and all that but here's a solution.
Recognise these? Self adhesive cork mounts with a paper top, come in 2's, which is nice.
The base was from a range now available from Blotz: https://blotz.co.uk/product/triangular-base-for-three-25mm-round-bases/
Here's 2 I made earlier. I've finished the bases but not the whole paint job. Look at the lift.
Death Before Decaf. Damn straight.
There's a lot of excellent detail on the bottom of these that seems to be a pity to cover. With flatter GEV's I add a 40 x 15/20mm base.
I started by painting the underside and completing the base.
My Error! Add something to the paper top - vaseline, wax. Just something to help you remove it once the pva, paint and varnish has done its job.
Some come off OK, rest have a nice rough surface.
Not finished OK? You'll see them in use!
Larger, heavier vehicles like these GZG. Matt Hay suggested ball bearings but they are just too heavy, so a solid washer does the trick, and would work on the above if you want the full flying effect.
