I've got the new DotR on the way and so I've started looking at collecting some 160th aviation assets. In the process, it occurred to me that I have no idea how to base the things, once I get them put together. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I use the stands you can get from Battlefront for their Flames of War Vietnam helicopters http://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=2533

I find if the model is not too heavy, just gluing a rare earth magnet at the centre of mass on the bottom is enough to hold without having to bother to try and make a hole for the magnet (and since it is the bottom, it is not easily seen)

check these guys out. Ive used these stands for several games including those with aircraft

They're also the guys making the counters for FoF

Depends on the scale you're using. 1/144 helos (Hey, they were cheap!) work very nicely on CDs (the CDs are a little bigger than the rotor diameter, so anywhere the CD fits the helo would) I'm looking for some 1/100 helos, and I'm going to do the same thing.

I saw a really brilliant idea for a helicopter flight stand that doesn't even need a base, really: You take some florist's wire and twist it into fat braids, about the thickness of fast-ropes. Use 4 of those for your 'flight stand'. If you use a CD for the base, put a big puff of cotton-ball "dust" around the edge of the base.
