Starting up with DBA again, after a hiatus. painting has begun, basing is not far off. What is a good source for steel bases in the US? I like the thinness with 15mm figures and magnetic trips in boxes work great with them. |

I remember using that brand in the past, plus he has magnetic sheeting for boxes. Thanks! |

I try to use Wargames Accessories, but my local store has a lot of problems getting restocks from their distributor. I don't know if it's the distributor or Wargames Accessories. I usually end up having to use a base size that's close to but not exactly what I want the store can get (e.g. 1 3/4" instead of 40mm). Hopefully you can find what you need. |

As far as I know the bases are not available through distributors. I order mine direct and rarely have a problem. I generally have pretty good stock and even custom orders get a pretty quick turn around: ScaleCreep.com |

I think if you look at their site (Wargames Accessories) – they carry stands cut by mm and those cut by inches. link |

Order direct from Wargames Accessories – terrific stuff. |

Wargames Accessories. You may have to file the edges a bit so you get the best flat surface contact with the magnetic strips. |

I recommend Shogun miniatures as well as Wargames Accessories shogunminiatures.com The steel bases are good and the movement trays work very well. He will do custom sizes I am also happy with the "mag bases" and use them for my 10mm and 15mm figures Thanks John |
