My basing is my "ungarnished" version of his own. I'm intending to fix brass name plates to the bevel at the rear of the bases.<br /><br />Ross, I quite like the plinth effect of the thick bases, especially if I do not terrain them. I think they need another sanding and coat of varnish, however. Obviously this is going to be quite a stylised affair.Bloggeratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501347647235993401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15312232.post-88688081996083878732015-10-29T05:41:20.323+11:002015-10-29T05:41:20.323+11:00I love tbe figures and the idea, not so far from w...I love tbe figures and the idea, not so far from what I have an urge to do with PA semiflat homecasts but I was undecided about the thickness of the bases.
