The bases look just a little thick for the scale to my eye- they remind me of Victory V lozenges. But nice work
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

You might have a rapid look at the Newline website. They've got a sale on, and it's just prompted me against my better judgment to get the nucleus of some 10mm forces for The War of Northern Aggression (as my former Carolina girlfriend insisted on calling it). They go very well with Pendrakens (of which I've just bought a couple of packs too...in a year's time I'll doubtless by trying to do Gettysburg in 1:1 scale).
The laws of probability do not apply to my dice in wargames or to my finesses in bridge.

Yeah , it's a trade off I guess. I may chamfer the edges down a bit. I am also looking at doin it on some 1/32nd ply too .

Lovely little project, the effort you have made on the terrain is also very nice.
