riceballtrp Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I'm looking for vendors of wood bases. Anything from small (54mm figure size) to 1/9 Bust size or 1/16 (120mm) sizes. There was a guy in the Atlanta area who made some very nice bases....bought a bunch from him when I was doing figures regularly, but I cant find his contact info. I've gotten the itch to do figures and busts again and need some nice bases...TIA! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I was at the local art store today, where they had wooden panels 4"x4" and larger. Essentially a frame with a plywood sheet across the front. They had panels with plain plywood faces (like these) as well as panels with fine veneers and even metal sheet. I just made a 5x7 base from some Baltic birch plywood. Rattle can Krylon black primer and some sanding resulted in a nice basic base. I glued a photo on top and sealed it with Blair Spray Clear Matte. Some self-stick felt on the bottom finished it off.
