I'll recap my basing strategy:

The key ingredient is telescoping brass square "tubing," available at 
most decent hobby stores.

Mount an Outer sized "tube" in the bottom base.

Mount an Inner sized "tube" on the miniature (this doesn't have to be 
that long) and a small Outer sized cuff (so that when mounted on the 
base, you don't ruin that excellent paint job).

You have removable figure / base combinations that are quite 
resistant to breakage, and you can use your bottom base for any ship 
if you so desire.

...and of course it gives the opportunity to say "All your base are 
belong to us!!"
