It solves the basing part of my "big armies, small battles" issues, anyway.<BR/><BR/>Got any tips for hiding the seams between the individual figure bases and the terrain on the larger sabot? Or maybe that's just not necessary when they're formed up en masse?<BR/><BR/>Thanks!Will Scarviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927162285224441677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131554789858510655.post-62602673696175019332007-06-08T08:30:00.000-07:002007-06-08T08:30:00.000-07:00Hi William,I have indeed.

In fact, I'm thinking about placing a large order with them in the next month or two.<BR/><BR/>I have another idea I want to try first ("hair curler armies"), that I'll write about on the blog today or tomorrow. If that doesn't pan out, Fernando gets the business.<BR/><BR/>I'd also need to get some of my extra unpainted lead up on eBay and Bartertown to raise the gaming capital. I'll probably do that _while_ I see whether I can paint an army of little tiny stick figures before "inspiration" hits again.<BR/><BR/>The local gaming club placed a big group order with Fernando last month, and were very pleased with the speed, quality and price.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the idea, William.Will Scarviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927162285224441677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131554789858510655.post-34211945464889766312007-06-08T08:28:00.000-07:002007-06-08T08:28:00.000-07:00I base most of my mins on metal washers.

I then place washers of the same size as the washers on my figures on the new base. I mold the terrain around these washers. When I am done with the new base I remove the washers and place the figures on the base and I am ready to go with the new system. I can post some photos on the "ultracheapminis" Yahoo group if you want to see some examples. Drop a line there if you need more info.<BR/><BR/>Ron HamiltonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131554789858510655.post-19816675267439824722007-06-08T07:37:00.000-07:002007-06-08T07:37:00.000-07:00Have you thought about using a painting service li...Have you thought about using a painting service like Fernando? You could have the bulk of the line figures painted by them and concentrate on specialty or command figures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
