I've decided that I really don't like the current default basing options I've used for years with my Napoleonic infantry – 4 figures on 60 x 20 bases. I've decided to go with 40 x 40 bases. They look better, protect the figures & are more stable on those pesky hills. I'm working my way through the Imperial Guard & I'm quite pleased with the results of the new bases: url=https://postimg.cc/fSJxBf7N]

I'll move onto the 2 Corps of French line I have, then Russians, Prussians & Anglo-Dutch……phew! |

Very nice looking. What base material did you use: cardboard, or MDF, or _____? Cheers! |

How did you remove them from your old bases? They look really nice. |

That looks good indeed. It does appear some poor aquarium suffered a raid.  |

MDF , cut to order by my local laser cutter chap – 100 bases @ $8. USD I soak the old ones as I use wood work glue (the white stuff)to stick figures on & this comes off easily with water. And finally the terrain is a mix of my own making – various bits of pebble, flocks & some dyed foam. Aquarium? |

The gravel that aquariums sell is often used by gamers for rocky terrain. At least it is in the USA. |

I have found the fine gravel used for ball fields in our local parks works well. It doesn't need painting. |
