Have just recently got myself a couple of Mechanical Chain Base by Kotobukiya, and I gotta say it comes quite handy whenever one needs to put one’s gundam (or any other scale model) in a Base repair scene. ^^ however I did find each base by itself a bit too small, probably just the right size for those 1/144 kits or GFF’s.

as pictured above, one can use the base individually, put them together sideways or on top of each other. one could probably even buy a whole lot of these and fill their wall with it. ^^ the 001 Mechanical Chain Base includes a trolley truck and hooks to hang weapons and stuff. 002 includes a movable elevating platform which can be interchanged with a clamp arm. and finally the 003 comes with a wall mounted walkway and what looks like 2 supply trucks.

as for me I decided to only get four of these. ^^

here you can see how it takes four Mechanical Chain Base to accommodate a 1/100 MG Hi-Nu Gundam.

one thing I didn’t like about it though was that the plastic surface reflected a lot of light, then again its probably nothing a little topcoat or matte spray paint can’t fix.
