Has anyone tried getting plastic bases made up at label stores? Something like a 2mm thick Gravoply 2 40mm x 30mm etc etc. e.g. trefolyte.com.au/index.htm Any horror stories or success? What did you use? Considering giving it a go…please talk me down from the ledge. |

Sounds like you are making something simple needlessly difficult. Why not just buy bases? |

Sounds like you are making something simple needlessly difficult. Why not just buy bases? Or even make your own. I make most of my bases from mount board. |

I just cut up styrene sheets, which come in a variety of thicknesses. Measure, score, snap. |

I either make them out of balsa or plasticard, or buy pre-cut mdf bases. Simple. |

Wargames Accessories makes 2 dozen+ stock sizes and will custom make anything within reason, and the metal helps keep stands still in storage with magnet sheets. |
