I've been looking at all the ships I've recently picked up and noticed that where the ship attaches to the base, some are tight and some are loose.
I cant really tell if it's the hole or peg that is slightly out of size.
So this causes some of the ships to stand a mm or so off the top of the base and has me worrying if I push too hard I might snap the little peg off or snap a sail.
Now what I've been thinking is to enlarge all the holes slightly in the blue base and removing the extra knob off the underneath of the base a bit and attaching the ship with a small self tapping screw and washer.
The other alternative is a pair of magnets, one sunk into the hull and one flush with the base.
I could also sand the hull to make sure they are flat before re-attaching to the base so they don't look like hovercraft.
Hopefully just removing the peg should solve most of this issue but I noticed a moulding line under the hull.
It might be harder to do on the smaller ships as the hulls are not as deep and I obviously don't want to see a screw poking through the deck.
But the issue seems to be mostly on the larger ships I have.
I'm not planning to switch the base cards over very much if at all but if I do I thought this might be a safer way to do it although not quite as quick.
Has anyone done any mods like this before and advise if this is a good or bad thing to do.
