Bitchin' Bases now has live sales on eBay. I've got most of the 8x8 bases up, and a few 12x12s. Over the next weeks I'll be listing the rest of the bases and sizes.

In this last quarter of 2025, I'll be scaling the designs to 1/72 and 1/32, so look for those as well. Got questions? Email me at LightAndLift at gmail dot com. I'll be happy to answer.

Happy modeling, ladies and gents!

Bitchin’ Bases are oretty versatile. I used the 12 x 12 Modern CVN carrier deck for my recent VF-84 Tomcat as a starting point. Once painted and finished, I used my 3D printer to make an angle attach for another piece of acrylic sheet. I epoxied it sll up then found a few VF-84 patches - and voila!

Bitchin’ F-14 display!

I've posted updated information with a few price adjustments. These are minimal, and will make cash transactions at the next local Phoenix shows a lot easier.

Thanks for your support so far; the response has been great!
