I've also been cracking on with the terrain hexes, and had intended to take some pics last week along with a 5150SA Batrep, but it didn't happen- No.2 son had fiancee problems to sort out, so the game never got to be played!Gunrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00428966187307220717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229145415069940061.post-18961473224077819852012-09-29T04:52:32.787-07:002012-09-29T04:52:32.787-07:00Damn you've been buys Gunrunner.

I was quite sure having based my minis on a bigger base (than 15mm) that they somehow had a bit more 'presence' ( perhaps that sounds a bit pretentious) but I personally like the appearance of the models, and if this looks more 'right' then that will do for me!Gunrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00428966187307220717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229145415069940061.post-25584114825285492692012-09-08T17:37:41.526-07:002012-09-08T17:37:41.526-07:00This is an interesting look at it...

I've based some 15mm minis on GW 25mm slotta bases, and yes, without something on the base to give them scale, they automatically look "short". Is this "proportionality", or are hobbyists just conditioned to see 25mm slotta bases as being for 25-30 mm scale figures?Allison M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08362700513221195102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229145415069940061.post-47163771541199167882012-09-08T17:34:33.976-07:002012-09-08T17:34:33.976-07:00I'm cheaper, I use pennies ;)I'm cheaper, I use pennies ;)Allison M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08362700513221195102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229145415069940061.post-10259994077474414162012-08-28T12:14:48.926-07:002012-08-28T12:14:48.926-07:00Thank you kindly Spacejacker.

It was a bit of a pain, especially when I had visions of tearing the paint off the minis near the base, but as it turned out, I only had to touch up a couple of pairs of boots, if you'll excuse the expression, and static grass hides a multitude of botches! Your minis would look great even if you based them on drain covers!Gunrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00428966187307220717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229145415069940061.post-67675210166701526562012-08-28T01:56:31.313-07:002012-08-28T01:56:31.313-07:00I often want to tr different basing, but I got bur...I often want to tr different basing, but I got burned early on using 18mm mdf rounds then switching to 20mm slotta.

I must admit, I originally used washers before the 15mm bases, but you must have found a good supply because the mdf bases from Warbases are less expensive than any washers I could find, so you're definitely not cheap!Gunrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00428966187307220717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229145415069940061.post-46226892122392068842012-08-27T09:31:04.418-07:002012-08-27T09:31:04.418-07:00Brummie got it right there truly superb work!

As all my vehicles are on 2mm thick bases everything is more or less on the same level, but I suppose it doesn't really matter. Perhaps I'm a bit too fussy!Gunrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00428966187307220717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229145415069940061.post-18721191579895846502012-08-27T07:49:45.630-07:002012-08-27T07:49:45.630-07:00They all look superb. whats the difference between...They all look superb. whats the difference between the warbases 20mm mdf and using a 20mm slotta?
