Author Topic: Does anyone make 'collars' for bases? OR 25mm bases that are 1mm thickness?  (Read 1665 times)

Not sure if this is the right place to put this....

As the title suggests, I am looking for something like a collar to convert a 1p base to 25mm diameter without raising the height.

Just sticking them onto a 2p would make the figures too tall and also make them look like they would be standing on their own personal 'hill'.

Failing that, does anyone make 25mm round bases that are only 1mm thick or less?

Mr Bibbly did these for me: Clear perspex bases, circular 25mm diameter, 0.5mm thick


I used one for this Copplestone miniature, building up the base with Procreate:


It's actually thinner than the other (slotta-size) bases

Reaper minis have a newish base style that has a raised "lip" on one side.

Other side is flat topped

I am trying to keep the bases as close to the thickness of a 2p, so that probably would not work for me, but the suggestion may well work really well for making an integral based figure blend into slotta-based figures.
I shall save that idea for when I want to work some figures into my 40k project at some point.
Thank you!

Something that I did consider, but how thick is a 'wink' in the center...?
Worth a couple of quid to find out, I suppose.
Cheers.

Cheers, Paul.
My first thought was to bother Bibbles, but as I need them soon and as he may be very busy at the moment, I didnt want to bother him at this time.
Those bases look lovely, though, so I may well bother him anyway for future use.
 :D ;)





Ok, lets attack this from two fronts:A trip to ebay and a botheration of Bibbles looks in order.....
Thanks, Chaps!
 :D :D

Try Warbases up in Scotland.

They make singular figure round bases that may do the job http://war-bases.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=68_136.
