AI flying base.

[Blindhorizon]

I've been getting into aeronautica imperiailis lately and needed flying bases. So i made some, here is the first cast.





Some detail i added is the two firing zones needed, rear and forward, and then an arrow to point in the direction the miniature is moving. I use d10 as my altitude and thrust, but thought the open space could be marked for kills, are numbers to match the ones on actual aircraft.

C&C welcome and encouraged.
Thanks,

Looks good so far. 

How do you plan on doing the dials?

I was going to use dice for that stuff, it was going to be cheap and quick. But the base wasn't the right size so me and Armand got together and designed a base in 3d it's being printed right now in FUD and I'll be casting it in resin. It will have internal dials similar to the AI base, one of the unique features we have created is a cup that fits on the top of the flying stem that can fit a magnet inside it. We have two sizes designed so you can do a bigger magnet for bigger ships, should work well for BFG to.

Myself and armand decided to do a joint venture of working on 3d designing and printing a flying base with dials and altitude and speed on it. We made some changes from current style of bases to some things we thought would be user friendly and add just that little extra. First thing we added which isn't much but is a nameplate at the rear of the base. You now have a section to write your pilots name on or you can mark the planes kills as it progresses to becoming an ace. Having used flight stands before i know the pain of the fragile connection point to the miniature and having the peg snap, magnetizing is the way to go to keep your flight stands viable and not worry about your miniatures being glued back onto them. We decided to create a flight stand cup, it slots on the top of the flight stand and can be glued to it. We have made 2 sizes, both are 2mm deep, 1 is 3mm wide the other is 5mm wide so you can slot a magnet into it flush.

How thick is the pin that goes into the models normally?

Looking really awesome by the way!

[Blindhorizon]

Hmm, you know that you too will want to play the game now huh? Does the warboss already tell you in your sleep about Fighta Bommaz?

How much and where do I buy them?

These will probably be around $3-$5 each probably doing a bundle deal too, but that's on win get the moulds made and are satisfied with the product.
