Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this work with 1/100 scale models?

No, the Action Base 8 is specifically designed for 1/144 scale models. Using it for larger kits may cause the stand to tip or fail.

How many bases are included?

Each set contains two complete base assemblies.

Can I paint the base?

Yes, but use acrylic-based paints and ensure the plastic is primed, as clear plastic can be sensitive to some enamels.

Are all 1/144 kits compatible?

The set includes a variety of joint parts to cover most common connection types, but some older or unique kits may require minor modification.

Is assembly required?

Yes, the product comes on runners and requires basic assembly, similar to a model kit.

What is the best way to clean fingerprints off the clear parts?

Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth. If fingerprints are stubborn, a very slightly damp cloth with water should suffice.

Troubleshooting

Model feels unstable or wobbles

Ensure the strut is fully clicked into the base plate and check that the model's weight is balanced directly over the center of the base.

Arm joint is too loose

Check if the joint connection needs further pressure to click into place, or adjust the tension screw if the specific model variant allows for it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High stability for complex, off-the-ground poses
  • Versatile range of motion via multiple axes
  • Clear design minimizes visual clutter
  • Package includes two complete bases for multi-model setups
  • Comprehensive joint set ensures compatibility with many 1/144 kits

Cons

  • Not suitable for larger 1/100 or 1/60 scale models
  • Clear plastic can show dust or scratches if not maintained
  • Requires assembly before first use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: identify the appropriate joint adapter for your specific model kit, connect it to the C-type arm, and attach the strut to the base plate. Ensure the screws (if applicable) or pressure-fit joints are tightened to your desired tension.

To ensure longevity, handle the clear plastic components with care to avoid scuffing. When cleaning, use a dry, soft microfiber cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or alcohol on the clear plastic, as these can cause micro-cracking or cloudiness over time.
