I have a lot of fun building kits in smaller scales, but they are so tiny I’m afraid to just leave them loose on a shelf. A display base can help keep them from bumping into each other.
I’ve arrived at an inexpensive source for that: Lids from cookie or biscuit tins make great bases for these little birds. Spray-paint them black, add a bit of grass or groundwork, and you’re set. I save them in all sorts of shapes and sizes so when I finish a model I always have a base handy.
