Coins as bases

[twrchtrwyth]

When some idiot uses the two pence pieces as currency!

As currency!!! WTF!

I have decided to make a future soldier army and have basically started it with 10 guys done so far. I had decided to use 2p bases....but now Im in spain! I think 5 euro cent may be the best choice.

I like the feel of the resin figures based up on coins. It gives them some wight, and makes then bottom heavy, which is good for balance and anti-damage (they tend to land coin-base down when I drop them...)

I have been expanding quite a bit on my 15mm armies and 1 2 and 5 eurocent coins are proving to be pretty ideal for infantry and power armour models. For larger models or weapon teams the good old washer is king.

So I'm doing it all over again, but this time before I glue the figure on (don't want to pin a coin), I put primer on the coins, than a black basecoat, THAN I glue the figure on, pva the coin, put sand on, and paint the sand.

Score the surface, cut it up with a strong knife. THat way the glue holds the cuts and doesnt come off.

will try that, cheers! Even tho out of frustration I bought 2 packs of 50 Renedra bases, hopefully won't have to screw around with those...
