Also, I am not a lover of plastic bases which I have always found to be too slippery!<br /><br />I'm now definitely going down the MDF + steel route. The steel should be on it's way and I've just ordered the MDF.<br /><br />Apologies if I have wasted everyone's time here! On the other hand, I do have some 15mm near-future Sci-Fi armies which are based on steel alone. It's a long story. Basically I put the infantry on steel coins without MDF and then I put everything else on bare steel sheet rectangles to match the same height.<br /><br />That was unusual for me, but those SF figures and other gear are robust and I'm not worried about other players handling them. If, when completed, I find that pulling them out of the boxes is too traumatic, I will utilise this 'paper tray' solution. So the idea of the paper trays is not entirely void of interest or merit, even though I won't now be using it for this particular project!<br /><br />Richarddoctorphalanxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11805618584243510174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654358191889198506.post-63070860022278880642019-09-11T06:38:09.770+01:002019-09-11T06:38:09.770+01:00If you want a thin, firm base and can live with 40...If you want a thin, firm base and can live with 40mm x 20mm, 40mm x 25mm and 40mm x 30mm, then the Kallistra bases are very good. However, they are not deep and you will end up holding the figures, though additional varnish on them may make you happier about that.Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031444717952755557noreply@blogger.com
