I am still trying to "go clear".... I followed the instructions supplied in another post.. I just don't have a blade sharp enough to get those bases off...

I absolutely enjoy basing as it gives a miniature even more character, BUT.. it also kind of "locks them in"... meaning if I have a rubble base for, lets say.... Mordheim..... it is kind of hard for me to use the model for Frostgrave Ghost Archipelago.... the clear bases free the model up to basically be used in any setting, which... is very cool!

Sometimes it requires lot of effort :o

I love the clear bases, but it depends... I am really happy with them in FG and Deadzone but have decided to use common style of bases for my LOTR collection. I think they work best in sci-fi setting - and can be slightly conspicuous in history/fantasy.

try one of the key-hole saw blades available for the xacto handles or the tamiya version.
bit messier and slower than Pabook's approach (which I haven't mastered yet either) but fairly reliable.
I've not 'lost' a figure's foot since using them.

I've used a sprue cutter  to clip away plastic bases. Once I've clipped the base all the way to the foot outline, I either grind the bottom of the foot or just use the clipper on the bottom of the foot itself. Then sand flat.

I have been using the spru cutter and then trying to file/sand the base under the feet.... I think I need to try the saw...

I think the clear bases are so awesome.. and especially for GA as figures will be on boats, sand, stone, water, etc.....

Visiting dungeons under the ruined streets of Felstad. The terrain was completely home-made by my mate Dzhuro :o

looks a treat, and your clear bases really come into their own.
