I bought some models from a guy on bartertown and he didnt send me the right bases. Are these made anywhere or am I just out of luck? |

Just use the standard 40mm base and either cut off the peg or drill a hole for it. |

Drilling a hole in the 40mm base is easy. The bottom of the base has 3 or 4 tunnels to guide your drill. Just pick the place you want to drill. |

I wonder if I can drill precisely enough though that the peg will have a snug fit. |

I usually take an exacto knife and from the bottom of the regular 40mm base, just pierce the plastic and begin twirling the blade until it opens the hole to the correct diameter. With a quick cleanup on the other side, it works out great. The fit will be fairly snug, and the model will be glued to the base in any case so there won't be any worry of the figure popping out of the hole in any case. No drilling required! |

Cool thanks. Now for my shaky hand.. |

Drill a big hole approximately where you want it. Fill with wad of epoxy putty. Stick figure peg into putty. Adjust so it is exactly how you want it; use a wet sculpting tool or similar to smooth any stretched putty. Let cure. You've created a peg hole exactly how you want it, but it's not a particularly strong bond, so pop the figure off of the hard putty. Glue back in with epoxy or your favorite glue. |
