There are some photos in More thrust (I think) of bigger bases used for
capital
ships. There are still spindly, but they seem to be metal, and are
probably
quite heavy. I haven't a clue though where to get those.

There was also a discussion recently about building flight bases
yourself.
Don't know if it was here or on r.g.m.m.
One idea was to use 2 different diameters of square tubing so you can
remove
the ships from the base for storage. The thing that has been bugging me
about
this idea though is how to make square holes in a metal base. I don't
have a
square drill:-)
