Ah, I've not seen this amongst Evergreen's stuff, but it makes perfect
sense, and
a great idea with the 1/2" mag strips. I've been wanting to put some
micromachine
figs on bases for years, and this may be the simplest way.

Star Wars Miniatures, the travel edition! Thanks!

I've thought about just adhering a paper-punch dot of mag sheet to the
base
of the fig,
but this would be far better.

I'll probably still scribe the back of the sheet; I seem to be well able
to
deform
in nasty ways styrene, even when it's propped against a nice, sharp
table
edge.

They
are very pretty, though...

Wait, a hand full for only $2? Where do you shop?!? ;->=

Two great minds... Wait, I think somebody already mentioned same, but
doesn't stop it from being great!
