 Actually I'm using something similar, the plastic 3 legged 'tables'
that come 
 with delivered pizza so the box doesn't crush the pizza in the middle. 
Flip 
 them over with the prongs up and you have a great base for my Superior
Models 
 ships will all their bottom detail.  I plan to paint them black and
mark 
 headings and arcs on them for more clarity.  Note that there are
several 
 slightly different kinds and sizes of these plastic things so sample
pizzas 
 from wherever you can to find which ones work best (hopefully their
pizza is 
 good too ;-).
 
 They can work well with EFSB type of 'Real' thrust movement, since a
marked 
 base can indicate the heading of the ship and the mini can be rotated
to show 
 correct facing.
