Starship Modeler Discussion Forums

Okay. I should explain what I am intending on doing. I have a number of 2010 Hasbro Star Wars vehicles, such as a Tie Fighter, Snowspeeder, A-Wing, AT-ST and Tie Bomber which I want to display as a cheaper alternative to the more expensive SS replicas. I don't want to go putting holes in them to run...

I want to mount a model on a display stand and haven't done it before. Is wood a better base and if so, what type? Also, if a wooden base is used what should a wooden stand be used or acrylic rod?
