I've seen Wargame Accessories bases in a few shops before – they look to be pretty good quality. link -Chris K. |

Fender washers of various sizes are cheap and work great. For 15mm I se 3/4". |

Game Crafters Ltd does, but his site is not up right now.

I am waiting on an e-mail. I have some of his 1/2" rounds and they are perfect.

I use Ramset 16mm washers for 15mm figures ($NZ14 for 100) or larger fender washers for heavy weapons, medium droids and small vehicles. I have magnetic sheet lined trays for the figures to stand on which works well to keep the figures separate and safe. |

I make my own using steel paper. Just line normal A4 boxfiles or Really Useful Boxes with steel paper. Same for temporary movement bases. |

For round bases, these are what I've been using on individual 15mm figures: link As far as movement trays, I made a few of my own (from 1/8" hardboard) that will hold pennies or 3/4" fender washers. Here's an example:
And after I went through the trouble of making those myself, I discovered Warbases.Co.Uk offers the exact same thing, only laser-cut (and really cheap). link They aren't magnetized, but are snug enough that it isn't really an issue. Or you could glue a Litko 3/4" round magnet to the bottom of each space, and they will hold washers or other steel bases in place. But that option would probably end up being more expensive than the figures themselves. -Chris K. |

Another vote and recommendation for Shogun Miniatures. Great service and prices. Been a customer for years. shogunminiatures.com |

Shogun Miniatures is the way to go. Their stuff is excellent. |

Just find a local sheet metal contractor. I have a source here in Kansas City that laser cuts whatever size base I want. I go with 1.5mm thick. |

Shogun looks to have some handy trays, but I would need some to go 400mm width, but they can only go 280. |

400mm is a big tray. I thought my 200mm ones were big, but I was wrong :D |
