Where to get display quality bases?

[RobberBaron]

I\'m starting to enter some local paint competitions and normally I would have just submitted the mini on its gaming base, but I want something that looks more professional. Nothing too fancy or large, just a basic 1-2\" height and only slightly wider than a typical round 35mm figure base.

Ideally I\'d like to get a 2 piece base. The bottom base itself with a magnet and a separate top part that the figure mounts to. This way I can just buy separate tops for each mini, but keep using the same bottom part of the base. Thanks.

Hello,

Jeff over at dragonforge is a popular choice and is very good with custom orders.

Isn\'t this like the third or fourth topic started on this in the last week?

Man, I gotta get me a lathe. I think there\'s a market!

if you want a larger one for displaying squads and dioramas, use a picture frame. they are hollow in the middle meaning you can add a fair bit of geography to it and they are cheap when compared to the custom made mini ones

I just bought some bases at really reasonable prices from Ken Thomas.

Contact me for his info if you\'d like it. (I took it down from public view at his request)

Here\'s a list of his bases and the prices. They are really pretty in person.
