Star Wars Micro Galaxy Squadron Stands

So, apart from a few ships, Jazwares doesn't make stands for the Micro Galaxy Squadron. You get stands for the Blinds, Asajj, a few others, and that weird little rack thing for the TIE Interceptor, but nothing else. And there are several ships that need a stand to even appear in-flight. I see you Slave I.

So here, I decided to make a compendium of stands, alternatives, and any other ideas for displaying your ships. If you have suggestions stands, please let me know. I don't mind paying a reasonable price to individuals for their time printing stands.

I've arranged these in mostly-alphabetical order.

This is still a great overall stand, and it's not hard to modify it or the ships to work. The holes you need to drill are about 2mm or 5/64". Also, the holes need to be spaced about 14 to 14.5mm apart. These holes are actually pretty easy to hide in most ships.

The Razor Crest didn't require any modifications besides the holes. However, for the V-wing, I had to remove the front part of the stand just in front of the pegs. So, each ship will require different modifications to the stand itself.

You can also see that you can display the Gauntlet with the wings canted slightly to give it a more action pose.

I think these would also look great painted, as there's a lot of detail you can't really see in its clear form.

DPS offers several stands for many of the common MGS ships. These are filament-printed and seem pretty resilient. They are also offered in a variety of colors in 3" and 6" heights.

The best part about all of these is that the bases seem standardized, like a flattened Action Fleet stand. For people who are particular about stand uniformity, these are perfect. Finally, DPS offers hyperspace rings for your Jedi Interceptors, as well as laser effects for display.

There are a lot of Figure and Gundam stands out there. These are mostly clear and require some assembly. You can use the claw parts that come with the stands or drill a hole in the toy for the stand to attach to. Because these are clear styrene, they tend to be brittle. I've also noticed most have problems holding heavier ships.

Bandai Action Base - so far, these have been the best I've tried. They are fiddly to assemble, but are very strong, and can hold a lot of weight. Everything has to be assembled exactly in order. You have options of connector pegs. The ones seen here are 3mm, so you'll need to drill a 3mm hold to hold up a ship. Just clean up the sprue gates, study the instructions, and go slowly.

Be careful with the cheaper stands that use screws to hold them together. If you overtighten, it will crack the plastic.

I love the stands that Gwydion makes. They tend to be very aesthetically crafted, lots of curves without the sharper edges of typical stands. I only have the U-wing and B-wing, but they offer the most comprehensive selection of stands.

They are filament printed, so they are very resilient if you drop them. They also come in frosted clear, as an alternative to black. Ships merely sit on these stands, as opposed to clicking into a slot (don't knock them over). Lastly, I love how some are canted for an action pose, rather than a typical flat 90 degree display.

STL's available for purchase.
