One other thought, if it were mounted slightly above the ground then that would give the illusion of it being taller as well. Between the base height and the gap between the base and the APC. Anyway, just a thought.


I had thought the same thing. Because it is an ACV, I'll have to be very careful about making it too high off the ground. My 6mm grav tanks are mounted on a small nut on top of a piece of clear styrene sheet. You can't see the nut but it raises them up about 3-4 mm. That much height works for a grav tank but would negate the ground effect for an ACV. I'll play around to try to make it work.

I found an American Penny works good for 15mm GEV. Takes it up only about 2mm at max and at 15mm scale that does not look too bad. Keep in mind this assumes a base with a random height texture.

Just my .02

Also assumes that the vehicle has a flat bottom. The Wombat is hollowed out so the "bottom" of the vehicle is not far from the top. :(

Bad news for my plans for Friday. One of the things I was going to do was a ton of priming, which I prefer to do outside, mainly because of the fumes. Well, it's supposed to rain here in Connecticut until about Saturday morning.  :down:  It looks like I'll have to postpone some of my work till the weather cooperates.

Sorry, the few GEV vehicles I have are Flat Bottom. You are right, my method will not work if this is hollow.

Sorry.

That is the way it goes some times. Hope you can work on something.
