[QUOTE="Robstyley, post: 456953, member: 6009"] Lindo's onto something here, this is the sort of thing I was thinking of. I'm going to have a play around with this idea and see if I can come up with something. It's getting the exact right location for each spindle/sprue so the weapons are in line or where you want them. I'm thinking piece of A4 stuck to a thick bit of backing cardboard. Lay the weapons out on it where you want them and then stick two pins through the paper/card under each weapon where it will support it best. Then lift the card up almost verticle with a tiny lean and your weapons should stay where they are. Once you remove the weapons and pins the holes will give you a blueprint of where to put the spindles/sprues and then make it out of acrylic or whatever material. You could maybe even put the paper on the acrylic and drill holes through the acrylic where the pin holes are? Then stick tiny rods through the holes. Dunno, just brainstorming :?: I'm too busy this week, I'll have a go at the weekend :) [/QUOTE]
