Acrylic Bases - Round 55 mm CLEAR RED

Acrylic bases, round 55 mm, clear red, Green Stuff World

Round bases of transparent colored acrylic intended for mounting figures and models. The 55 mm diameter corresponds to the bases of larger figures and of smaller monsters or machines. A transparent material is used where the base should be as invisible as possible, or, the other way round, as a color distinction between groups on a gaming surface.

Use

• A replacement for the original plastic bases of figures for tabletop games
• Color distinction of units or of players' sides on a gaming surface
• A base under a figure displayed on its own
• Building raised or flying positions in combination with a rod
• Giving a collection of figures from different makers a uniform look

What to watch out for

Acrylic is not polystyrene: modeling cement for plastic does not work here and solvents fog the material. Bond with super glue with as little excess as possible, ideally the gel kind, or with glue cured by ultraviolet light; the fumes of super glues can whiten a transparent surface, so let the joint cure in the open air. Laser-cut acrylic usually comes protected by a film from the factory; if it is there, peel it off only just before use. Do not sand a base dry with coarse paper, because scratching cannot be removed from a transparent material.

Who the bases are for

• Players of tabletop and figure games
• Modelers who want uniform bases for a collection
• Anyone interested in transparent bases for flying positions

The bases are an accessory in their own right, not a model or a kit. Figures, glue and rods are not included in the package.
