@Sgt-Mclusky well, no porblem, now you can make new ones, at last 50 for a total of $11us.

@Phelan-Kell that’s an interesting idea.

@CWO:

@Tjoek:

@R DiStefano: you have the German flag wrong. The Swastika should be close to the flag pole instead of close to the other side.

Actually, shouldn’t the swastika disc be in the middle of the flag rather than off-center?  If so, the which-side-of-the-flagpole issue solves itself.

Depends on what flag you want. The flag from Hitler’s Nazi party is centered, but they used an off centered one (closer to the pole) as the flag for the German Reich itself. As such I would opt for the off center one.

@wartorn:

A good do it yourself remedy since the market is super dry with them right now

And who knows when more will ever become available again.

Thanks for letting me know, must have missed that other post. Looking forward to when they are back in stock.

I am working on the same project myself.
I decided to use #10 nuts and #16 1_1/4" finishing nails. I am epoxying the nail in the nut.
I don’t think this will be a fast process, but it is saving money. My design will be a little taller than the FMG Flight Stands.
I was able to get an infantry with 5 chips under a bomber with no chips.
And the #10 Nut is small enough to fit inside the inner circle of your chips.
I figure it will cost are $0.12 USD per stand. So it should have me about $250.

Watching GHG’s video Wolfshanze posted helped too.

I went to the local dollar store and bought some plastic storage trays that fit all my pieces. The blue tack planes and stands all fit in one of the trays, so i don’t waste time breaking them down. The odd one i have to reattach, but the freeing of space on the board is worth any hassle. I think in time i will invest in the magnets for the stands and planes, would be nice to have every plane with magnets so the stands will be more universal.

I saw this thread after I made my own stickers, would had saved me time for the templates, glad to see im not the only one who like flight decks, though mine are not historically accurate, I made generic ones… don’t make fun :P
