Starforce Ringship 09

I freguently use 1/8" stainless steel welding rod to make display stands for models. I install a length of Evergreen 3/16" plastic tube in the model since the tube has an inside diameter of 1/8". The ringship's components are connected by a tubular spine. So, I built the components around 3/16" tube that would slide over a longer than usual steel rod display stand. As seen in this photo, I superglued a short length of plastic tube to the steel rod to make a stop for the model components. A recess in the bottom of the model fits over the stop so it is not seen when the model is displayed.
