Yeah, I gotta tella ya, My son Michael came home from school one day with like three of these wooden bases. I asked what those were for and he said I made these in shop class so you could display your models on them. Well one night he is having a fit because one of his models wasn't sitting right because only three of the wheels/tires were touching the table. So we removed the offending wheel and then got one of the wooden bases out, set the car on the base and then reglued the wheel/tire back on and now the car sits perfect. I use these bases all the time. Makes moving the model around so much easier. You can turn it without ever touching it, plus you have a perfectly flat surface so your car sits right. Something so simple, but I would be lost without it.. ;D.
