Basing Ship Minis - Tubing and Barrel Clasps

I have gotten several request lately for more information on how I base my
ship miniatures. I use tubing and barrel clasps so the base can be easily
removed for transport yet stays firmly attached while gaming.

So I spent the evening documenting the process and then creating a web page:

Surf over if you are interested. If nothing else you can see several
close-ups of my left thumb.
