Action Base 2

The following information is taken from Hobby Link Japan

************************************
Perfect for displaying small-scale Gundam model kits, Action Base 2 is designed to hold kits from Bandai's HGUC, FG, HG Gundam 00, HG Gundam Seed, 1/144-scale models, and SD Gundam series. No other display bases from other companies come close to what this amazing display base allows you to do!

Action Base 2 is a plastic injection snap-fit assembly kit that requires very little work to assemble. No cement or paint required! The trapezium bases (two included) come with cool mechanical detailing and panel lines, with one hole per base for placing the stand. The stand can be extended upwards for posing your kit in a much higher position, and the angle of the stand can also be adjusted to lift or lower your kit. The stand can also be used on Action Base 1 to pose two kits on a single base in close combat!

The set comes with two different sizes (6mm and 7mm) of U-shaped holders, two peg-type holders, and one screw-on type holder (four screws and three nuts are included) for attaching the main stand to the crotch of your kit. When using the U-shaped or screw-on holders, double-sided tape should be applied in between the crotch of the kit and the holders to help hold it in place. (The package notes that there may be cases of a kit not able to fit.)

Each Action Base 2 (two trapezium bases combined) can be attached to up to six other Action Base 2s for you to create an amazing display filled with Gundam kits or other robot kits striking cool action poses! Check out the other color variations, linked below!

I only got 2 of this item, one is black color and the other is clear red version... basically I use them for my HGUC Sazabi and Nu Gundam though in the future I might use them for other HG/HGUC/BB/SD GunPla kits...



Nu Gundam looks OK on it...









You can customize the handle with few different type of filters so that this can be used for variety of HGUC kits and other HG kits from the modern series as well...











This thing are connected by using such a simple method and tool...


You can also connects many of them together... not just 2 as shown here...





However, due to the monstrous size of Sazabi as a 1/144 HGUC kit, I personally think the Action Base 2 have a little bit problem to balance this heavyweight MS, just a little bit, not so much.... but I think part of it is also a because of the extra weight of Sazabi's gigantic shield...



Apart from that, overall I still can say the Action Base 2 can managed the Sazabi but I personally prefer to put Sazabi on the Action Base 1 (for HG 1/100 kit) coz Sazabi is seriously big...
