[FT] Basing Fighters

I know that this question has been asked at least once before, but it's
a
new year, and there all kinds of new people on the list, so....

How do you base your fighters?	Until now, I've been mounting a
cardboard
triangle on a GW flight base, and mounting a figher on each corner. 
It's
not bad, but I want to do better.  Does anyone do anything particularly
brilliant that doesn't require an engineering degree?

(Oh, and I found my Sa'Vasku paint scheme; an amalgamation of several of
the suggestions that I recieved.
1: Basecoat black.
2: Paint with Floquil "PRR Dark Green"--a great color, only slightly
removed from pure black.
3: Drybrush with Cartoon Colors "Dark Green 15".
4: Paint the "lips" and dots along the back with Partha "Mold Green"
5: Paint interior of the "mouth" with CC "Bright Green 20", and then
splotch it with bright yellow.
6: Paint the tips of the spines with CC "Green 20", and blend along
their
length.
7: Spray with a Satin coat.
The result evoked a heartfelt "Yuck" from my fiancee, so I think that
it's
a success.  Thanks, everyone!  Now, can someone explain why the
escort-sized ships don't have mounting holes?)
