The metal hex is about 2" (50mm) across; yes, the post is metal. We 
supply these with most of the very large (BDN/SDN) ships.

The same as the all-plastic stand, the metal post is a casting of the 
plastic one and thus a direct replacement. If you're happy with the 
size of the regular plastic stand, but simply want stronger posts, 
this is the way to go. We supply these stands with all the 
medium-sized ships (BC/BB size) .
