"Flight Bases: how do you make yours?" Topic

Looking to have consistent bases for my 1/144 and 1/100 aircraft. Most for FoW/TY type games.

What do you use? I can get BF bases, but looking for a cheaper option (I have LOTS of A/C).

Construction tips welcome

I only have half dozen flight poles, since I don't play pure air games.

I have 6 of the very nice Corsec ones with magnet tops. So I just add a magnet to each plane and done.

Have you tried Litko?

I'll look at Litko, maybe the RPG flight stands. Want to make sure they are stable and 6+ inches off ground

Upturned plastic wine glasses.

For bases for my air-support I use wire tripods. These fit around the terrain better that solid bases.

For the 1/300th toys, I use legs about 3 inches long
with a vertical that attaches to the aircraft.

Originally that was just a wire that fitted into a hole drilled in the bottom of the aircraft. Later it was an alligator clip that holds to a map pin in the bottom of the plane (ball joint style).

You could bend the wire to provide a location to attach a rare earth magnet if you were so inclined.

They may be more substantial than you need.
