Clear bases, yes or no?

NickNascati:
What is the general opinion of the group on using clear bases for minis as opposed to traditional ones? I go back and forth on the idea. I did a bunch of pulp era figures on clear bases, and am doing sf figures the same way, but I’m not really sure I like it. It does seem to make sense for eras where figures may be used in a variety,of terrain types. But, unless the figures are made for slotta bases, it is quite a bit of work.
Inkpaduta:
Maybe here and there. I got clear bases for Rumbleslam and they worked create. But overall, no.
JamesValentine:
Personally think they look cheap, tacky and lazy. And where the figures attach looks messy.
Mick_in_Switzerland:
I have decided to base my Star Wars Legion Miniatures on clear 25mm circles so that they can work on snow, desert and inside buildings and spaceships.
I am drilling a 1.2mm hole and using a 1.2mm brass rod with no glue. This avoids the splodge of glue under the feet. I will also matt varnish the sides to reduce the glow effect.
robh:
Absolutely not, they look awful.
The concept is good but with the present materials they look dreadful unless you use a dim light and look down onto the figure from directly above, any angle of view or strong light and the glare is worse than seeing a normal base.
