I was contemplating getting a Bandai Action stand for my Musha. However, after having a long look at the completed gunpla, I realized that this gunpla looks best 'grounded'. Which means it looks better with standing poses.

This would be a waste since the action base was more suited to gunplas with aerial poses... i.e. the SEED gundams. And these bases don't come cheap either. So I decided to DIY a simple homemade base for my Musha instead.

First, I got one of those disposable chopsticks which comes with my favorite tarpau economy char beehoon.

Next, I found a left over scrap piece of clear acrylic sheet which I used last time for my engineering final year project. The red is basically just a decal stuck to the top surface which I will remove later.

I marked the middle and bored a hole using a hand-cranked drill (no money buy power drill last time).

Then, I stuck the chopstick to the acrylic sheet using some superglue and left to cure for a day.

This was followed by a coat of primer.

The action base I bought for my Aile Strike came with 4 connectors. And this one so happens to fit my Musha. So I recycled it.

I installed this to my stand and sprayed the whole thing gunmetal. Let it dry for another day.

I have some leftover stick on rubber stubs which I use for the dining table chairs.

I installed this to the base of my stand.

Then I applied some leftover decals for my Musha onto the top of the stand for asthetic purposes.

Here's how it looks like after application.
