This is probably the aspect I least like about assembling minis.  If you
mess it up, your ship can look strange mounted at an angle.  One idea I
had,
but haven't tried it yet, is use a mini-clip flexible holder.  I'm not
sure
of the actual name, but it consists of a two or more mini-clips attached
to
flexible rods all mounted to a heavy base.  I thought it would be easy
to
use the mini-clips to grasp the mini and hold it in position until the
glue
drys.  I have seem these advertised in several hobby catalogs like
Squadron
and Martek mail order.	Another source would be the local Radio Shack or
electronics store which might carry something like this for working on
circuit boards.
