I think there are plexiglas rods (http://www.delviesplastics.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=DPI&Category_Code=Extruded_rod) with a one inch diameter that probably would look better. Or perhaps some hollow clear plastic pipe. Perhaps with part of the building covering the insert of the rod into the base. Otherwise I am as impressed as ever with your work.Agishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05355576788771116401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-65840337541310084952013-12-08T13:24:17.957-07:002013-12-08T13:24:17.957-07:00It is bizarrely large on the tabletop.

It will look funny having the thunderhawk drag along a skyscraper as it moves along. :)John Stieninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860350974000948346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-48144385716246583932013-12-08T11:32:23.137-07:002013-12-08T11:32:23.137-07:00Though I love scenery and adore the Thunderhawk.

Flying bases like that give me too much an impression of the flyer crashing into the building or the building scraping the belly of the flyer, which makes it a bit unrealistic (as far as realism goes in 40k, lol). Overal a very good model, though the scenic base makes an already massive model even more massive as it claims more space on the tabletop.Revan88https://www.blogger.com/profile/05383694024988219669noreply@blogger.com
