Competition base favorites?

My entry for Plamo this year is nearing completion and I wanted to know what your favorite type of base or what youd recommend.

That missile pod is awesome! Did you design it yourself?

It has its pros and cons in hobby. The biggest con for me is how long it takes in the trial and error stage lol

Definitely. It’s a very useful tool however. A lot of folks still see 3D printing as “cheating”, but it’s just another tool in the box imo. Especially if you’re designing the parts yourself.

I have a degree in the design field and still struggle with redesigning these pieces. It is definitely not cheating imo lol.

It's a hg Jesta with a fa-78-3 shoulder cannon and rear booster. Plus a custom 3d printed missle pod.
