Satans CrateThis model comes with a very small base, if you can call it that... So that the whole makes a wheelie, a bone-like support is provided between the coffin and the ground... This looks a little weird for me, therefore I make a new base. ;D An old, small picture frame, decomposed... PS sheet, 2mm thick, a same size as the glass. Sprayed with a "Effectspray", gives the whole a structure. Drilled in the bottom of the wheels, a hole at the desired angle, 1mm Ø. Two 1mm rods, made of strong wire, a little longer. Glue these two, parallel to one another, in the prepared holes of the wheels. At the desired position on the base, drill two holes, 1mm Ø. Sprayed the baseplate with matt black. The wires now slide through the plate, and on the back (or bottom), shortened to the desired length and bonded with a small sleeve. This is the result: This works with all other "Wheelie models", you just have the axles and wheels, firmly fix to the model, and according to the size, use the appropriate materials... ;D

That adds the action the model deserves, great show and tell. Actually pinning models to a base makes for a safer display too. Cheers
