Model Bases

[Bootie]

Ok guys

Ive decided to overhaul all my models to date and to compeltely re-do their bases. At present they are on polystyrene bases which look cheap and tacky.

I would like to mount them on something like this.

Im just looking for the black plastic display base with that little cut away area to name the diorama.

Any hints or directions greatly appreciated.

I use wooden plaques available at hobby shops, discount stores...

Can yu post a pic of a finished model on a wooden plaque of yours. I have wood and could technically make my own.

here's a link to a site that sells custom bases as well as acrylic display cases:

I've never bothered, myself, but apparently trophy stores have a lot of the right kind of stand, which makes sense.

Bootie, you might want to try this UK-based company - http://www.just-bases.co.uk/

Although picture frames can be okay too.

Nice... looking for more the plastic black ones to be honest... you'd think they would be easy to come by and to get in bulk... grrr.
