First Edition Large Base Conversions to Medium Bases with the kits?

[ClavainRS 33]

Good evening friends,

 

I'm sorry if this has already been discussed, I couldn't seem to find a topic (probably because the language for the problem is difficult to write in a comprehensible manner).

 

I am just getting around to going through all of my conversion kits (I purchased the initial 3) when I discovered that for some of the large ships, like Slave I and the IG-2000, there do not seem to be appropriate parts to attach these to the new medium bases.  The stems they provide appear to be for small ships that have become medium based craft.

 

Anyone help a fellow out?  I have 1st Edition versions of all these ships, and the Slave One has the most creative an odd stem to attach to the base I've seen in X-Wing.

 

Thanks for the help in advance -

The old large based pegs work fine, the conversion pegs are only for ships that got scaled up.

You can just use regular large pegs.  The medium ships use the same pegs as the large ships, so an adaptor was only needed for the small ships that became medium, the large ships that became medium can still use the same pegs they used to.

I did notice the IG-2000 Fits, but it's awfully wobbly.

 

My Slave I does not have the appropriate pegs, it's..I assume it was one of the first printed. It has a single long stem that did not 'plug' into the base, but simply fit into a circular hole there.

...wut?

Slave 1 has a normal large base peg socket just like every other large base ship,.

If the peg doesn't fit well, try another, there's significant variation in peg sizes in X-Wing.

Yeah, I should take a picture because it's honestly weird.  It's one long stem, that does not plug, but FITS into a hole at the base.  The stem has a plastic collar on it that slides up and down its length, and hooks on to a single regular stem you would normally see with a large ship now (the thick round stems) which THEN plugs into the bottom of Slave I. It's real, I swear.

I found a traditional large stem to attach to the single one I had for Slave I.  But it does not fit well at all and is much more unstable than it used to be.  Sad face. Thank you all for the help!

Did you get these off ebayor some such? Kinda sounds like some sort of custom/3rd party flight stand.
