Title: Cheap 'round flying bases'?
Post by: Mr.Marx on 29 October 2015, 11:23:38 PM

Hey,

Does anyone know where I can get some round-footed flying bases? You know, the sort GW sell, but not at their crazy prices.

Cheers,

MM.

EM4 is selling hexagon flying  bases for cheap :

THey sell black and white versions. I've got some black ones, but I don't know if the "white" they sell means "clear".

In the past I've used cheap acrylic wine glasses that are available from supermarkets or party supply stores. The bases are either separate or removable. Glue a piece of clear acrylic rod into the base for the upright.

Alternatively: get some one piece acrylic wine glasses. Saw off the stem to the required height and use that.

Try Aliexpress. Friend recently got these, you might have to hunt around to see what's in stock, etc.
