I'm working on a Little Bighorn diorama and need to find the best method of basing sets of 4 horses in 18mm scale. I'm using pewter horses and would like to come up with a thin metal base, about 1 inch by 2 inches wide. I would prefer a base with some texture and not shiny. Anyone have any basing suggestions or a source for what I'm looking for?

Sorry for hitting "Submit" 4 times, didn't realize you had to wait a couple of minutes before a new topic submission would appear.

Wargames Accessories has 1" by 2" thin metal bases in their standard range. You'll have to texture them however.

Shagnasty,
Thanks for the hint about Wargames Accessories. I found them there, but there minimum order was at least $15. USD However, I searched on ebay and found them in the quantity I needed for less than that and now have them on order. Thanks.
