I've seen lots of different flatbeds. They range from just a piece of delrin all the way up to really intricate design. Here's mine, kinda middle of the road but it works for me. |

All styrene. Its all painted and filled now just no recent pics. New bed for my SD, just went for a simple look, got a feeling the stake holes aren't going to do to well on the rocks |
