Pulp figures: Istanbul constabulary, any ideas for basing?

[mortimer]

Hi, I have no idea how basing the hookah man, just have some 40mm round bases, but there is a lot of free space and I don't like how it fits... any idea? Thanks

Hope you like the free version of this lovely figures... perhaps for some african colonial pulp

I used a Victrix plastic base for this one (20X40mm)

Ajá, fits really good, it's a good size sure, but I'll try to avoid order bases just for one miniature... perhaps cutting some hard plastic... ummh

Really nice, great to see the different colour scheme used

How about 40mm base, position the figure as far back as it will go and fit comfortably, so the majority of "free space" is in front of the figure.  Then you just need some suitable "items" to decorate the base with.  Small dog, carpet, pots and pans.  Anything really that fits the rest of the basing.

... or a table with handcuff and a pile of official documents

Great hookah!

I based mine on a quarter.  Probably not much use to you in Spain, sorry.

thanks for all your ideas, the big coin is an option... perhaps a 50cent euro... but the option with a 40mm base and some more elements sounds a challenge!!

I thought in a draughts table, it's a great element and turns the turk onto an oracle -joking-

any examples of draughts tables in 28mm?

They should be standing on a floor of beautiful Iznik tiles, which you could hand paint

Yep - thats the solution right there! 
Probabaly look best if you do thirty of them too.

On a serious note, I like the rug idea ... either that or a rafia mat texture.

IZNIK TILES!!!!! a whole year for basing sure!! 

The carpet is more reasonable

How about a 1:48 scale dolls-house table?
You should be able to get plenty of different objects on it, depending on what effect you are after.
All mounted on a 40mm base?

It is UK-based, but it cant cost that much to ship to Spain.
I have used loads of the really cheap stuff in my Mordheim-style ruins;

Have a look and see what you think.
At these prices, how can you complain?!?

Sorry, but I have no idea.
