Where to find Square Slotta Bases with Straight Slots?
« on: 29 January 2022, 04:56:21 PM »
Do any of you know of places where I can order square slotta bases (20 mm and 25 mm) with straight rather than diagonal slots?

So like this:


I know Litko sells some made from wood, but I'm hoping to find plastic bases.

Thanks!

Never used them myself, but if you’re UK-based, Tiny Worlds might be worth a punt.

Not cheap, but square slotta bases - especially ones with horizontal slots - seem hard to find these days.

We used to sell them in the good old days of em4miniatures. I don’t know if Charlie, the current bearer of the em4 flame, still has them. I’ll have a look.

Just looked. It appears not🙁. Maybe worth checking with him to see if he can get them.

Thanks for the suggestions - yeah, I can find a fair number of places that used to sell them, but it appears none of them carry them still.

I guess wood bases aren't the worst thing in the world :)

Try here maybe:

http://www.tinyworlds.co.uk/20mm-square-black-plastic-bases-x-20

In the drop-down menu they have plain, diagonal slot, and straight slot.

They are also common on eBay still.

Thanks for that!

I went to the link earlier, but missed that there was a pull-down. D'oh!

That looks like it'll do the trick :)

How many do you need?

Somewhere between 20 to 50 I think.

My current push is to work through all my unpainted minis and at least putting them on bases and priming them. I'm finding that a lot of them would be better on straight slottas than diagonal... and I'm finding that a number of modern minis with tabs (which usually come on round bases) are better with those as well.
