wizuriel Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 So I just had the displeasure of attempting to put together the new plastic skeeters. I managed to power through it despite finding the legs and antenna more or less broken on spruce, but find that I have no idea how to base this thing. Any suggestions on how to base this or a good proxy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebarbalag Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I built balsa planks that overhang the base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I have the exact same problem myself. Could you post pictures of your Skeeters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daemonkin Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 I put my skeeters on flying stands with magnets to remove when storing them. D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandages Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 I used Barrels from Ogre Kingdoms sprues for the cler flying bases to rest upon, then 'hid' the majority of them using a sign which is made from lolli-pop sticks.
