stems and stands. . .

[H]

due to the regular breakages of the flimsy stems, I am somewhat lacking, gawd knows how, as I am sure you get multiples in each pack. but that aside, who has spares for donation or sale? just trying to get my non core fleets all stemmed up. (My core fleets are all going to be "ninja"d up.

 

[Greg Smith]

You could just buy Ninja connectors fopr the ships, then swap the stands around.

 

[H]

I know, but then If i should choose to sell said fleets, then i have no stands for them, so unless the purchaser had ninjas too. . .

'Ninja' connectors?

'Ninja' connectors?

i think he means these connectors: http://www.rattleheadgames.com/catalog/WithHostileIntent-MagneticAdapterSystemProducts.html

where can you get them from in the UK? or do we have to order from the states?

 

[H]

well i got mine from Da Boss, who had a terrible time getting them from the states, and obviously with the pound sinking faster than the mary rose, not much point looking stateside to buy things

 

[Da Boss]

Indeed the postal service tried their very best to avoid them arriving - they lost the original pakcage and I had to re-order- although the compnay was good about it.

In the end the first package arrived after abput 6 months (with of course losts of customs charges on both) - not my favourite experience...

they are pretty good - although not perfect..............

Mongoose are still offering their ball-and-socket bases for sale on their website.

 

[Dr Stubbsberg]

actually i find that the ball/socket joints are great, because the thinner tops to the stands (without attaching the ball and socket) mean they fit better into the pre-drilled holes

 

[M1ndr1d3rs]

But larger ships might actually snap them.. I go for metal stands. Does anybody anywhere still sell them?

 

[Iain McGhee]

Don't think so, but you could always replace the shafts with brass rod or similar (I use nails myself).
