So I am starting to think some more about the display aspect again... my plan is that I'd like to mount it to an endtable, but none are exactly what I want. I can find pricewise what I want, something cheap and simple, but ideally I'd like it to be a box like endtable.

My GF had the idea of packing some kind of weights into the PL base dome and gluing that to a large plaque like what I used on the Dragonslayer kit. I must admit it has me tempted, but I don't really know what I'd use for the weights in the dome. I suppose maybe just get some heavy metal chunks and epoxy them in...
