15mm round bases - help!
« on: December 02, 2009, 10:15:22 AM »
I've maid a huge order of 15mm VSF minis (my first 15mm VSF ever). I want to use them for scirmish (just like 28mm minis) on round bases. And I have only 1 question. What round bases to use? (Where to buy, what size)

Here is an option:

20mm plastic bases (10 for 50 cents GBP) from Hasselfree Miniatures.  They use them for mounting their little kid sculpts and are rather nice, though they do have a slot.

Here's another link for you. These are the bases I use, not the cheapest compared to the above but good quality and good service.

Sorry about the size of my photos but these are some of my ACW-VSF Union Iron Brigade based on the 25mm miniature by Brigade Games:

Electro Cannon and crew:

Airbourne Infantry:

US Steam Powered Rocketeers. Again, based heavily on the Brigade Games Models:

Finally, some of my Confederate Mono-Cyclist:


The reason I chose washers over our Australian 5 cent coin is that I made up movent and travel trays using large fridge magnets (year calenders from real estate agents).
