RE: Basing Grav Tanks

OH!  I forgot to mention:  I'm going to have to bore out a larger hole
on
the bottom of the mini to seat the air gun pellet.  But that shouldn't
be
too much trouble.

  I just had a brainstorm!  I've got some old plasti-card that I've cut
into
1"X1/2" rectangles (thank goodness I had a X-acto miter box and a razor
saw
for this).  Then taking some cylindrical air gun pellets (in this case
Crosman Copperheads .177 caliber) I glue them to the center of the base.
Then I paint and flock the base, then affix the painted mini on the top!

  I'm also going to look into some magnetic stripping for the underside
of
the base so I can transport them on a metal tray.

    Hi Mark, I use the black square rect. bases too. I also use the just
the
base part of the clear round flight bases. These I like because it gives
the
illusion of flight and you can see the terrain your over just like the
"real" thing.
