60mm Magnetic Acrylic Flight stands for Warhammer 40k, Large
Item Description
One set of four (4) 60mm round laser cut acrylic magnetic flight stands for table top wargaming. Cut from 3mm clear acrylic, with two heights included (2 x 45mm and 2 x 30mm overall). All parts (except magnets) come to you with a protective paper coating so as not to be scratched during transit to you.
Tired of having your flight stands snap from your flyer/skimmer models? Or do you leave your stands unglued so they can be packed separately for transport, only to have your models tip and spin during game play when sitting on the peg? Well look no further, with Magnetic Flight Stands you get the best of both worlds. Models are held firmly in place during gameplay, but can be separated from their stands for transport. What you get:
- 4 x 60mm Round Bases
- 2 x 45mm Pegs
- 2 x 30mm Pegs
- 4 x Large Support Arms
- 4 x Small Support Arms
- 8 x 3mm x 3mm x 3mm Square RE Magnets
- 8 x 3mm x 2mm Disc RE Magnets
Using a combination laser cut acrylic and rare earth magnets (N50), and tested on a wide range of small, medium and large flyer and skimmer kits for 25mm to 30mm gaming, following these simple steps for assembly will see to it that you never have to use another type of flight stand again.
NOTE: Best used on medium and large plastic flyers/skimmers, that are usually deployed in squadrons of upto 3 or individually. Especially so if there is added weight at one point, such as the rear, due to turrets and/or sponsons.

These instructions are for the Large Stands only. For the Small Stands please see the appropriate listing as they are different for assembly purposes.
STEP 1: Starting with your components, 1 Base, 1 Peg, 2 Round 3mm (diameter) x 2mm (thickness) Magnets, 2 Square 3mm Magnets and either the large or small support arm (depending on the kit you are using it for).
Remove your protective paper coating from both the base, peg and support arm. |
|
STEP 2: Some people find it ideal to super glue the peg into the stand at this stage, as it gives something more to hold onto while placing magnets.
Already being a snug fit, you may need to give a little down ward pressure onto a flat surface for the peg to make definate contact with the base at the join. Using super glue will simply make sure that it never falls out. |
STEP 3: Before placing and gluing any magnets, you will need to make sure of polarity. Simply take one square and one round magnet and let them join together. This is how the magnets will sit while your model is joined to the stand. |
|
STEP 4: Start by test fitting your square magnet into one of the two small square slots at the top of the peg (as pictured). The top surface of the square magnet will sit flush with the top of the peg, leaving the round magnet sitting proud.
Remove the magnets and apply super glue to the three surfaces you noticed that come in contact with the peg. Keep the super glue as minimal as possible, so as to minimise mess. The magnet is a snug fit also.
Set this aside and allow to dry. |
|
STEP 4a: Again, test fit your second square magnet into the other small square slots at the top of the peg (as pictured). The top surface of the square magnet will sit flush with the top of the peg, leaving the round magnet sitting proud.
Remove the magnets and apply super glue to the three surfaces you noticed that come in contact with the peg. Keep the super glue as minimal as possible, so as to minimise mess. The magnet is a snug fit also.
Set this aside and allow to dry. |
STEP 5: Moving onto your model to be mounted on the stand, locate where your normal flight stand peg would go. |
|
STEP 6: Drill the hole out to a diameter of 3mm. The best way to do this while putting minimal stress on small plastic components is to run a 3mm drill bit in a cordless drill on a backwards setting. This actually turns the excess plastic into powder under a more controlled action, rather than removing large amounts of swarf too quickly and undesirably.
Drill to a minimum of 2mm deep to allow full insertion of the round magnet, any less and you wont get it to sit flush with the models surface. |
|
STEP 6a: Using your flight stand peg as a marker (with magnets attached), locate where you want the second magnet hole to be drilled. On larger kits with more weight in one location, it is better to have the second magnet closer to that area. For example, if your skimmer/flyer has a rear turret (thus extra weight at the rear) place the second magnet hole towards the rear, when compared to the original.
|
|
STEP 7: It is recommended to use a pin vice with a 1mm drill bit to get this started. The 1mm hole will act as a pilot hole for your 3mm drill bit.
|
|
STEP 8: Drill the hole out to a diameter of 3mm. The best way to do this while putting minimal stress on small plastic components is to run a 3mm drill bit in a cordless drill on a backwards setting. This actually turns the excess plastic into powder under a more controlled action, rather than removing large amounts of swarf too quickly and undesirably.
Drill to a minimum of 2mm deep to allow full insertion of the round magnet, any less and you wont get it to sit flush with the models surface. |
|
STEP 9: Place a minimal amount of super glue in each hole you have drilled out. With the round magnets still attached to the peg as shown here (so as to keep your polarity correct) push the round magnets into the holes.
|
|
STEP 10: The peg and square magnets wont allow you to push the round magnets any further than flush with the models surface. So even if you have drilled more than 2mm, it simply isnt a problem.
|
|
STEP 11: All that is left is for you to choose which support arm to place in the center slot. Two sizes are supplied per stand, giving you the best possible outcomes, depending on the kit your are assembling.
|
|
Simply slide either arm onto the center slot, preferably adding a minimal amount of super glue to keep it in place. Support arms are also a snug fit onto the peg.
These arms have been designed to simply add left and right OR forward and backward support (depending on your magnet location). The two magnets will do all of the grabbing work, the arm will just stop any tip when the model is moved.
Once dry you have now fully assembled your Magnetic Acrylic Flight Stand. You can now place your model ontop and see how it clicks into position.

Payment Terms
PAYMENT TERMS: Paypal (for International & National Buyers), Bank transfer (National Buyers Only). To be received within 7 days.
If your postage charges need revising you will need to request a new total from us. To do this proceed through checkout once you have purchased all your items and they are listed together on the same page. Underneath your grand total is a link that says 'Request Total'. Use this link. We will receive your request, apply your discount and issue you with a new invoice to pay with.
Please ensure that, if you win multiple auctions and/or purchase multiple items from our eBay store during any single seven-day period, you pay for them all with one payment, even if they all have free postage! If you choose to ignore this guideline and we continue to receive multiple unnecessary payments we reserve the right to process and ship each item separately or as one package. Multiple payments may also be refunded, so you will then need to pay for your items again as mentioned, and they will then ship in the same package.
PAYPAL NOTE: If you have a credit card/secondary bank account on file with Paypal (used as a back up funding source) your payment to us will be instant and your order with us will be processed in normal time. However, if your payment is without a credit card/secondary bank account on file with Paypal your payment will be made as an echeque and they can take 7-10 days to clear through Paypal before reaching us and thus in turn your parcel is posted once cleared.
USER ID: Please only use your ebay user ID as a form of reference when making your payment. If you don't use you user ID, shipment will be delayed while we work out what money paid for whose item.

We have a dedicated eBay page setup to explain the sometimes complex details of 'combined shipping'. The link is located in the left column entitled 'Combined Postage'. Please have a read of this page if you are thinking of buying various items with different postage costs and are unable to determine what the correct total should be prior to purchase. If you are still in doubt it is always best to ask us before buying.
Feedback & DSRs
FEEDBACK: We believe that communication between buyer and seller is essential. Without it, you, the buyer, are unaware of your purchase progress. As the seller, we can be made unaware of payment and delivery satisfaction. Rest assured, we do our part to keep you informed and up to date of where your transaction is at.
To keep the channels of communication open we send out emails to your eBay e-mail account at regular intervals.
Please leave feedback with us when your package arrives. This notifies us that you have received the item and the transaction was successful.
Please note, our feedback system is set to automatically leave positive feedback when a positive feedback has been received from the buyer. Due to such a high volume of parcels leaving every day, it is simply too difficult to leave individual feedback comments. Simply put, if you are happy with your purchase, then we are extremely happy with your business.
However, if there is a problem with the transaction between us, please contact us to resolve the issue BEFORE leaving feedback as we will always find you a solution.
DETAILED SELLER RATINGS (I.E. the little stars you click on when you leave feedback)
When you give 4 stars, it may seem like a great score, for instance a 4 in Shipping Time means "Quickly". Please note that this particular rating is for how quickly we get your parcel out the door, NOT the time spent in transit, we have no control over the postal service.
Ebay, however, considers a 4 to be a sub par mark.
Their standards require sellers to maintain a 4.8 & above average or be penalized with higher fees and restricted account usage. We strive for a 5 star service by stating upfront our descriptions and policies, our shipping rates & our shipping frequency.
While we encourage you to leave honest ratings, if you were pleased with this transaction, please respond with all 5 stars! We feel our service to you deserves nothing less.
For example, if you have received FREE shipping, how can anything but a 5 be left for Postage Charges?
If you feel you need to leave less than 5 starts for a particular rating, please let us know via email before leaving your ratings and we will work with you to improve on that.
Returns
Genuinely faulty goods will have their money refunded, however we must be advised of any faulty goods upon receipt of the item. It is the customers responsibility to pay for and ship the item back to us within 14 days of receipt. If the item is found to be faulty, we will also refund the postage cost.
