ever look at your balsa scrap pile ( i know you guys keep that stuff...) and your wood glue and think, "y'know, i could build a pirate ship with that..." ? well... me too.
i like to build stands for the kits that don't stand upright on their own (protruding engine clip, inverted fins, et al)and i thought it would be fun to use only the scrap from the balsa/basswood sheet that came with the kit. the example shown is made from/for the star trooper. no design plan, just shot from the hip, so to speak. added stuff as i went to improve stability. i am eager to see what cool stuff you engineering nerds come up with.
have at it, my fellows...
