An odd idea:
Fender washer
Chunk of styrofoam or a lump of putty or a
rubber chunk
pins (straight pins with coloured ends, the small
bulbs not the big ass coloured push pins) (red
and green for example).
Nail or wire
Glue wire or nail to edge of washer (drill
through, whatever) creating fighter mini mount.
Putty would be best. Mould space for die to sit,
and a lump at the back. Let dry, prime black.
Putty becomes pincushion for red and green
pins (shortened) which represent CEFs and
numbers in a squadron. Or use six different
colours instead of six pins. Or use coloured
toothpicks instead. Thus you can tell at a glance
how many fighters you have and what the CEF
is by colour coding. No beads. Just pull out a
pin or change the toothpick.
Tomb.
