Replacement base for Mobius BSG Viper?

[JediG60racer]

Hey all! I recently unpacked my Mobius Viper Mk7 from Battlestar Galactica to display in my office at work, and... the bottom part of the base is missing. I have the vertical spar that goes from the base to the model itself, but the base is MIA.

So... first off, is there anyone here who happens to have built their own custom diorama, still has the Mobius base and doesn't need it, and would be willing to let me buy it from them?

Nextly... does anyone have suggestions for aftermarket model plane display stands that I might be able to modify to fit?

TIA & so say we all!

Have you considered using a nice piece of wood for a bottom base? If not, I was looking on Amazon and they have a decent assortment of model aircraft stands. Many look pretty similar to the OG BSG stands. I wish I still had mine. I’d mail them to you for free. But sadly I threw them out. Good luck finding something.

It's in the realm of possibility for me... I'm not a skilled woodworker, but doable with some effort. Thanks for the suggestion~!!

Go to Michaels or Hobby Lobby and just check out their wooden plaques, bases, and picture frames. You can do quite a lot with them for very little money.

JediG60racer, I have a couple of bases I am not going to use. If you want them all I ask is for you to cover postage. I am in Canada by the way.

Great idea! Even better than me trying to be a wood worker starting from scratch
