If you were buying these models used would it be a deal breaker if they were not 100% stock/original models?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589308/6714873.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589308/6714873.page GMT
As to second question, entirely personal.

Apologies if that's no help.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589308/6714880.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589308/6714880.page GMT
If they were my models, I would definitely cut them off. I would probably mount them on a 1/8" clear plastic rod after slowly, and carefully, and paintstakingly dremelling out a notch in the center. Yes, I know they're white metal.

You also could, if you were feeling ambitions, do what this guy did.

I don't sell my models so I cannot speak to the resale considerations. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589308/6714884.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589308/6714884.page GMT here (not my work but I found the very models inspiring).

I don't think I would sell them but as a buyer, conversion or broken bases were not a problem since I aimed to do some conversion work.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589308/6714951.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589308/6714951.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589308/6715005.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589308/6715005.page GMT
