Does anyone still make bases like that? They are quite nice, they have
a nice heft to them, much sturdier than plastic bases, and the 12-point
markings are of course handy.
They may not be "sexy", but I have to believe if someone produced bases
like that, they'd be a money maker (practically zero design costs
compared to a starship figure, and although I know very little about
casting, I'm guessing they'd be quite easy to do with little waste / bad
castings).
Perhaps if enough people were interested, it would be economical to use
an online machining service, like eMachineShop
(http://www.emachineshop.com/) to place a large order...?
