@seldon9 I hadn’t thought about layering GSW roller made bases.  Interesting idea.  I’ll look for those videos at the weekend when I have time

@sundancer I do have a pot of spare screws and nuts etc leftover from many PCs.  I always feel they are too large, but perhaps its worth trying one on the base of a larger model some time.  Not sure where to get smaller yet recognisable ones.  As for toy parts, I don’t yet have a source of broken toys and the 3 year old who would be providing me with some soon has just gained a baby sister so now his toys have to survive a second tour of duty.  Again, I fear these parts will be too big, but I know other people make them work.

@khusrau I have a selection of old network cards etc I could salvage.  I’ve seen people do this and make cool bases.  However when I look at them all I see is chips and leds.  Perhaps I need to watch a bunch of youtube videos doing this to tweak my brain around to the right way of thinking?

@blinky465 That’s super cool of you to offer.  They do look great.  Its a Privateer Press game though, so it’s strict with its bases.  Its all 30, 40 and 50mm round lipped bases and they have to stay that way.  Base inserts designed with that in mind are fine, but the lip and size must be preserved. (Dunno if you are familiar with warmachine at all?)  If it’s no hassle to rescale with that in mind then I’d be grateful.  I think the models in my current KS bundle will want inserts for  1x 50mm, 1x40mm,  and 7x 30mm bases.  Extras would allow for future proofing.  I dunno what else will get added to the KS.  If it’s a pain to tweak or the maths becomes awkward I’m happy to stick with the rollers and craft some extras.  I’ll happily cover your costs and postage.It’s been a while since I’ve had an opportunity to work of new bases.  Everything recently has come pre-built on to an empty base and that limits creativity.
