Probably
wouldn't have thought of it until you voiced your first solution to

Yeah, these can work pretty good, but I suggest CA glueing some soft
material, like a piece of wide rubber band, to the clips to prevent the
teeth
from ruining the surface of your model.
I tend to cant the ships on purpose, to give them that dynamic, "evasive
manuever" look to them.

bottom
and whatnot....
