One of our members (kaime on this list too) hooked
me on the washer, nail technique for creating 
virtually endless tough, good looking metal
stands. And the tips never break off in the model.

You just take a wide washer with a hopefully narrow
hole, glue a nail upside down, prime and paint black
with something like Krylon spray. It ends up with
a nice, good looking, durable finish and it's
very rugged.

I only use those GZG stands on special occasions
(like UN miniatures with absurdly long vertical
wings).
