17 TH Foot at Princeton

I like my bases to reflect the actual ground conditions during a battle.

I did a lot of winterizing to accurately portray what he battlefield looked like.

I find it odd that some will be obsessive over buttons and straps, yet completely disregard ground conditions
on their bases. Green sawdust on wooden blocks doesn't cut it for me.

Nice work.

One of the things that I really like about your basing is that you use thin bases.  So many people use thick blocks because they are afraid someone might actually touch their figures.  I get it.  But I don't.  If you don't want people to touch your figures, put them in a display case and not on a gaming table.  No, it's no fun if figures get damaged in a game but it will happen if you put your figures in enough games.  I learned to live with that a long time ago.  But I'd much rather see my figures getting enthusiastically moved around the table.  That, for me, is the whole point.  So, I'll risk the damage - and repair it as best as I can when it does occur.  Most gamers understand and do their best not to harm other people's figures and feel guilty when it happens.  I sure do if I am a guilty party.  What is truly odd to me is that the people who use those thick bases, blocks if you like, generally really work hard to paint their figures to a high standard - and then, again for me, completely ruin it with those thick bases which just look clunky on the table top.  So, I don't get it.  Now dismounting from the my soap box shaped horse!

I use custom cut, thin metal bases from Warbases.

My standard is 2 x 3 inches, which hold 6 figures comfortably.

Those chaps look great!  Well done!
