Ship mounts

For my heavier ships--IF BB, KV BB and BC--I have used a simplex nail
(nail through a square of aluminum ribbon) and a fender washer for the base,
and drilled out the ship's mounting point to fit. If you do this, you should
try to get the nail head flush with the ribbon so
your ship doesn't wobble--if you're at ECC you'll notice that I
omitted this step.

You should be aware that these nails would make great antipersonnel caltrops,
and consequently shouldn't be left on the living room floor. Earring posts
(also used to mount fighters and strikeboats) wouldn't be as effective but
would still work if the person who steps on them
