Any of you guys base your infantry separately? PSC infantry look anemic and I'm wondering if I should looks elsewhere for "fatter" infantry. |

We have mounted individual 15mm since the 1990s. Almost all plastic look too thin when compared to metal. Plastic is ok with multi-casting bases. Metal for single bases. |

I need to look for metal in 15mm. Not sure what US retailer sells 15mm metals. |

Plastic figures are generally far more accurately proportioned than metal ones. The only metal figures I can think of which come close to looking ng like real people are AB Miniatures, although some SHQ stuff is pretty good. |

1/72 soft plastics mounted on pennies here. Crewed weapons get mounted on whatever works and is handy. |

I do both – multi based for Flames of War and the ilk, single bases for skirmish. I use 3/4" washers and line my storage boxes with sheet magnet. |

Like EC, ah base individually on metal (thin steel). Cut 60mil magnets for whatever size base the rules call for. |
