Tragedy strikes! Those tiny flights stand are fine (kinda) for Vypers and other lesser races skimmers, but for a hefty Falcon-Type it is just an accident waiting to happen! But not any more!
As part of my fixing up Mrs. Blackheart's cheesy overpowered Eldar, I was tired of repairing/replacing/drilling out those damn flimsy flight pegs for the umpteenth time.
So after calmy describing my frustration with the issue, she helpfully and not unexpectedly, suggested we make a new base with the 3D printer servitor. She quickly drafted up a base and printed out a prototype. A few small changers and she cranked out eight for all her Grav-Tanks. She even made a new stand for her ancient Armorcast Tempest Super Heavy.
The PLA printing medium takes primer very well, and painted/flocked up with ease. I used Gorilla Glue CA thick gel to attach the stands.
Each Falcon stand took about 45 minutes to print, and used a small amount of material to make.
The end result is rock-solid stability for her tanks, and no more worry about the stands breaking off during the game. My Tau tanks will receive a similar treatment when I get to refreshing that army in a bit.

With a Little Redesign
Whoa!! Those are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWe may need to speak about making a Monolith flight stand in the near future...
That is a very good idea! It shall be done.
ReplyDeleteHey, do you have the STL file for the Falcon Stand? Is there any way you can provide it?
ReplyDeleteMany thks!
