    I'm pretty sure. The base got a hole for a flying stand.

    Thank you. :):):)

    I got the big skull in the front from the old giant kit. It's my favourite part of the base.

    Nice! I was originally thinking it was the old Crom the Conqueror model but wasn't sure.

    That's a cool model too!


    My original plan was to use my Archaon on foot model, but he was a little to bulky for the disc. It just didn't look good. Then I remembered that I had this guy in my collection and the fit is much better.

    Thank you! It took quite a bit of work to make it fit together, but I'm extremely happy with the results.
    • filed the metal tab of the model so that it matched the arc of the top of the disc
    • I cut a slot into the top of the disc
    • epoxied the tab into the disc
    • green stuffed the bottom of the disc so that the tab is not visible
    • green stuffed the top of the disc to fix the foot alignment issue (since the model is designed to stand on a flat surface and the top of the disc is convex)
    • created a custom acrylic housing unit accept the 1/4 acrylic dowel

    Now after investing so much effort and it (surprisingly) turning out exactly as I had planned, I'm afraid of messing it up with a subpar paint job. I haven't touched the model since. :p My eye has already begun wandering towards other projects!

    There is nothing wrong with this approach, otherwise we'll all be in big trouble :D

    Hahaha... you've got me beat then. A painted model with an unfinished base is worth a heck of a lot more than a finished base with an unpainted model!
