Do most people base their 6mm Vehicles? I was thinking of maybe a couple to a base to represent a company or platoon etc. I know it depends on the rule set normally but I do like the look of multiples on a base. Thoughts? |

I base them singly on vinyl floor tiles. Some of them are so tiny they would get lost if dropped on the floor (I've lost a couple jeeps that way before I started basing them…). You can also label the back side of the base to know what the vehicle is (T34, sure I know what that is on sight, the mk23ai5h not so much) |

I label my bases. I think it helps tie the whole army together when you base the infantry and vehicle with the same materials. I use metal bases and that aids in transportation/storage as the models are now magnetic. |

since my only 6mm vehicles are Robotech, yes, I base all my 6mm vehicles. some of the model won't stand unsupported. |

base all on 30x30. massives tend to be on 60x60 just makes things easier. grav are on their stands on a base |

On a related(ish) topic, what's the easiest way to base, but leave an area for info like for Look Sarge No Charts, on the back of the base? |

Put same tape of the appropriate width on the back and do the basing. When done pull off the tape and you have a spot for putting labels. |

I was wondering if it was just that easy… I will have to give it a try. Thanks everyone. I will try to send out some test pictures. |
