RE: FT Fighters - Indicating Types Question

Hello all, thought I'd pass on my latest attempts at bases. I mostly use
the
B5W FA scale fighters- I use the black plastic bases they come with and
cut
a rectangular hole (pair of square dice shaped holes) into the center of
the
base between the fighters, then just glue a small piece of card to the
underside of the hole- this lets the thickness of the plastic act as the
lip
to hold dice. Then I can just mark the endurance with a dice. Some of my
bases just have the fighters sitting in the holes loose, but for those I
glue in I use a second dice to mark numbers. Both ways seem to work
well,
and it looks good actually seeing the proper # of fighters in each
flight,
so haven't picked a set way yet, but the dice always sit fairly secure.

Later,
Alex Kettle,
