Jack Stands are part of my Automotive Diorama Accessories kit.
They might look neat in the photos, but they weren't useful during the build.
And it was tedious setting up the chassis on them for the purpose of the photos!
The chassis doesn't have enough weight to sit solidly on the jacks.
They are easily dislodged, toppled.
And they don't always lift the vehicle high enough to be useful (to the builder).
So I don't think I actually used them much during the build.
Instead, I used scrap cardboard and cardstock to create folded supports as I needed them, in the sizes I needed.
Sometimes I just folded up a support, and sometimes I cut slots and recesses in these folded supports to secure parts.
I also used whatever boxes or objects I had had hand to lift and hold the chassis at the right height.
Scale Cubes probably come in handier than any other object...I have many of them nearby!
