All,
I'm going to be putting up a collection of 3D printed Stalkers, Bandits and creatures for Zona Alfa and similar games. They can without bases. Do you think they would sell better on clear bases or without bases? Nick |

Have you thought about selling them unbased, but including the bases if people want them? |

I, personally, will not buy 3D printed figures without bases.
I also think that clear bases are a very bad idea.
But that's just me. |

79th, I could do that I suppose. John, clear bases are my go to. I don't have any regular plastic bases. |

I, on the other hand, like clear bases. I second 79thPA's suggestion. |

Mostly solid and flocked bases for me. Clear is a no go except for a few smaller ship models. I do have a few D&D large monsters (mainly dragons) with no bases. |

Have to say I am not a fan of clear bases. |

Bases make it easier for figures to stand up on irregular terrain. I'd include the bases. If people don't like them and the figures stand up well, they don't have to use them. If they like bases, they have them. Grelber |

If people are going to decorate the bases, they can do that with clear bases, too. Sell them with the clear bases separate. |
