|
|
I got a bunch of 2300 line minis and they came with attractive rounded bugled plastic bases. I think I prefer these to the recent 2400 ones.
All the minis I got from the Starline 2400 line came with flat ones. How do you get the rounded plastic ones? Is it possible to make an request when ordering from this site? |

Ral Partha's Crimson Skies minis used to come with the bases you're talking about, they're Iron Wind Metals now but I don't see those bases available by themselves. Their Crimson Skies figures came with that type base in clear. _________________ "His pattern indicates two-dimensional thinking."

I think those are the flat slotted plastic bases with the pewter pin. At least the last pack I got were. _________________ "His pattern indicates two-dimensional thinking."

right, I was wondering if the Rounded Bugle bases that came in the old Starline 2300 minis are still available instead of the flat ones that are available now |

Personally, I've picked up as many of the old clear stands with Firing Arc covers from Lou Zocchi -- For large heavy ships, I've modified the B-10 base to screw on (many others did their version for that purpose) ---
Maybe someone in the know can post photos and links on the Cart to each type of base --- |

I think we have zocchi bases; you'd need to email Leanna. _________________ The Guy Who Designed Fed Commander

The two Round top hex bases I have are for non-ADB ships. One is a FASA Romulan Graceful Flyer and the other...well I'm not sure where it came from but it's in my miniature box.
I still have some of the old clear stands that come with the paper shield/firing arc covers which I use for the retro look. |

I got many of my Zocchi bases from ADB, just need to get off my duff and paint more minis so I would have a need more of them ----
There must be a 1/2 dozen different stands under my amateur paint jobs, I really need to get into gear and work on more, organize better, at least to get each fleet on the same type stands --- |

Oh, sweet.
Thank you SVC. I'll e-mail her and order them at my next ADB direct order. (Where I will pick up Briefing 2, some boxes, a couple minis big box retailers don't carry, and some spare charts.)

Dorian, you might want to clarify the "zocchi" bases with Leanna before you order them.
I think the type of base you're looking for is this.
Unless I'm wrong, the zocchi bases Steve is talking about look like this. _________________ Commander, Battlegroup Murfreesboro

I think you're right.
Thought maybe you'd be at Nashcon today. _________________ "His pattern indicates two-dimensional thinking."

Went to the first several NashCons, but rapidly became turned off by the play style of the persons running the games I enjoyed playng.
Since then, my tastes have changes - I probably should go back since HMGS-Midsouth typically runs the type of events that I have recently decided I like. _________________ Commander, Battlegroup Murfreesboro

Well, I've never been myself, but my main 'opponent' usually goes every year, he's there right now afaik. _________________ "His pattern indicates two-dimensional thinking."
