have been cutting the large plastic posts down about 1/2 an inch, then	
drilling a small small hole 1/4 inch down the post, and in the
miniature. Then  
pinning it together. Have not had the miniature of post stand brake yet

I've had  it with these plastic stands.  The plastic
bases are okay because I  end up mounting them on
a fender washer to lower the center of gravity,  but
the plastic posts are for the birds.  They break  too
easily.

So, I'm looking through the GZG online store.
FT 004	does not seem suitable as it uses a
plastic post.  FT-003 is described  as a "large
hex stand (metal)".  How large is the hex base?
Is the	post metal?

FT-STAND-MET has a plastic base with metal post
for  bigger ships.  How large is the platic  base?

Thanks.
