RE: assemblying FT minis

On bases 

GZG 'ship' their capitals in the UK with the old GW style
plastic flying bases and these are woefully inadequate for
the big stuff.

I have one imported ship with a US style base and these are what you
need for the big ships. Looks like I will have to order from the
US or make my own to get something appropriate. AFAIK the US bases
aren't in the UK catalogue. I think they should be available at least
as extras (as including them would push up the prices).

I've also been experimenting with the new GW 60mm flying stands, better 
but not perfect as the post is flimsy.

Another base that is useful but hard to get is the old GW space fleet
base, this is an ideal base and has a strong post and a large footprint.
