Great job Big X,did you make the stand or what make is it.....

Hi Vince - I quickly 'improvised' the stand using a glass tea light holder - you know - those awful little candles with tin foil round them.  It was 'heavy' and a pretty shape - but boy is glass tough to drill.  I drilled out a hole in the base then superglued a styrene rod in the hole - with a pin on the top to pierce and hold the Spit - this is what it looked like before...

Now I've made it I think it would suit a 1/48 model better - it was just knocked up in a rush - as I needed something to pop my ornament on.

Great idea. Now I can just imagine you sitting behind the desk in a three piece suit, quaffing a fine Cognac while puffing on a Cuban cigar.

 

With a white cat on my knee - in my secret hollowed out volcano lair perhaps??? :lol:
