That's a very nicely posed group, and again the flags really look great.

Do you shape the bases yourself?

Should be okay, but there again, he could spend days looking for the corners. If he goes quiet, we'll know why.

Bases from Warbases, derived from their 3mm MDF Vehicle and Terrain bases.

Many thanks.

I put some 15mm ancient Greeks on squiggly bases.....very cool, well, I thought so. The Dremel makes short work of the shaping but the edges aren't so nice and crisp as what you have.

You need to get an upright stand for a Laser Dremel and some of those old bendy curves that we used for maths back in the day to get the bends nice and sensible.

What? Better than the blindfold method?

Don't even think about transferring your driving method to base cutting, it'll end in tears!
