New alliance, VEE, presents leader figures
Want to ramp up your miniatures game with fighter and bomber squadron wings? These bad boys are the perfect additions to your miniature fleet, especially for larger models or flight wing formations.
They've got a twist-fit peg hole, designed to fit perfectly with our standard 3mm flight pegs. But wait, finding the right peg toppers can be a challenge when customizing miniatures for games that use the 3mm twist-fit peg hole.
Here's the lowdown on what you need to know:
- Compatibility: Ensure the peg topper fits a 3mm diameter hole and supports the twist-fit mechanism if needed.
- Customization: Go for toppers compatible with miniature bases or those with a small platform to attach squadron emblems or additional details.
- Material: Opt for injection-molded plastic or 3D-printed parts for custom shapes and designs.
Not sure where to start? Here are some recommendations:
- Commercial Flight Stand Toppers: Many manufacturers offer clear plastic or acrylic toppers designed for 3mm pegs and twist-fit stands, often featuring a small rectangular or circular platform ideal for mounting miniature models.
- 3D-Printed Custom Peg Toppers: Platforms like Etsy have numerous listings for 3D-printed peg toppers with various designs. For instance, the Transformers Siege Jetfire Flightstand offers a 3D-printed stand that could be adapted for squadron wings by modifying the platform type or adding custom decals.
- DIY Peg Toppers: If you've got access to a 3D printer or laser cutter, you can design and print your own toppers to match your squadron's theme. Just make sure your design includes a 3mm peg-sized hole for compatibility.
When it comes to adding squadron wings:
- Attaching Wing Emblems: Use the top surface of your peg topper to affix squadron decals, printed emblems, or small resin details that represent wings.
- Painting: Show off your squadron's colors, numbers, or insignia by custom painting the topper or platform.
