Howdy Dakka Dakka. I am having some issues with the Necron Ghost arc flying stand. The model is very back heavy and the stand that came with the model isn't stable. It wobbles all over the place and leans back. I was wondering if you guys have had the same problems and how you dealt with it.
Thanks.

I've heard good things about these stands:

If it... *puts on sunglasses* floats your boat then I suggest brass rod in place of flying stands.

I've made these magnetic type for smaller flying vehicles:

And these for larger, heavier vehicles:

This ^^^.

You could also consider basing it and disguising some brass rods as reeds (mixed with actual reeds/grass) failing that.

Bunnings also have some incredibly strong epoxy glues as well so you could put the brass rod on top of the stand as well.

I can also vouch for back-2-basix, I bought some greenstuff from them on ebay, keeping in mind they live in Australia so it may take a while to arrive (took me a bit over a business week when interstate is usually only 3-5 days).
