Stand problems

[Davinder Sangha]

I have created a stand using a small table leg attached to a square block as a base.

The table leg is hollow and is around 32mm dia. This slots on to a small pipe on the model itself which is around 30mm.

The problem is that the model lists forward and I need to make it secure. I've tried to make the small pipe diameter bigger by using tape wrapped around, but the model is still listing forward.

Any suggestions? I can't really change the stand much now as it's wired in, but open to options.

Can you fit ballast to the rear section of your model?

Good idea, but I've actually turned the part on the model sideways and now it's much better.
