 heres a pair of custom made stands i created for my buster eagle and my fire phoenix. Fire phoenix:  Buster eagle:  made from spike files commonly found in any good office supplies stores (i got these from the office supplies section of SM department stores). i bent them with a pair of pliers to accomodate the zoid/ that would go on them.. spike file stock:  *this system could be used for macross planes, 1/144 gundams or similar size kits, some action figs, one small problem with this system is that once bent for a specific toy, it would be hard/impossible to adapt them for another toy. total cost for 2 stands: 58 php.. 29pessos for each. total time to make: around 30 mins each to get the bends and balance right. |

Still, thanks for sharing! well the buster eagle in the pic is quite heavy too *about 1/2 kilo, so i think it may be able to carry anything about 1 kilo... also the base is made from heavy cast iron so its VERY STABLE |

ah... so it can also be used on 1/100 Gundam kits??? crud, forgot to take a pic of my doubleX on the extra stand at home.. pero possible silang gamitin for some 1/100 gundams depending on the pose and the way you bend the rod. |
