Re: [DS2]-Grav Tank Basing

G'day Christopher,

My husband uses a thin piece of brass rod (few mm diameter as far as I
remember). Which he sticks into balsa or plasti-card which is slightly
larger in size then the grav tank. Depending on what type of terrain you
want the tank flying over you flock/detail the base accordingly and then
stick the tank on (use super-glue gel as it stays were its supposed to
and doesn't flow everywhere). 

There may also be grav tanks stands for sale (I know Nic at Eureka in
Australia has them so I guess the guys where ever you are do too).

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Beth
