Judyc Posted August 29, 2021 Posted August 29, 2021 For some reason I cannot find a supplier here in the states who offers square ready-to-use bases for 1/32 aircraft. I like the ones with some grass, maybe a bush or three and the wooden planks. I can find 1/72 but not 1/32, anyone have a source? TIA Judy BiggTim 1
dustiepal Posted August 29, 2021 Posted August 29, 2021 I have never tried them but they look good. https://www.coastalkits.co.uk/ They have all scales. Dave
Judyc Posted August 29, 2021 Author Posted August 29, 2021 Thanks, I'll check it out, but they are in the UK and I need them soon... Judy
LSP_K2 Posted August 29, 2021 Posted August 29, 2021 Sprue Brothers carries them, Judy, though much is currently out of stock.
Confusionreigns178 Posted August 29, 2021 Posted August 29, 2021 Noyes Miniatures, Zokei Mura have marketed some resin 1/32nd bases.... I think there's one or two others, but can't remember any names right now. Chris. LSP_K2 1
seiran01 Posted August 29, 2021 Posted August 29, 2021 The zoukei mura / SWS ones are generally very nice, I have all but one of them here at the house

On Facebook there's a page called 3D BASES by Mario Catania, but I'm pretty certain he's based in Europe, and most of his bases are either round, or not so simple (like carrier decks). Kev LSP_K2 1

ScottsGT Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 Question about bases. One of my hobbies is wood working. I can produce wood bases with a finished trim edge of almost any flavor. Basically custom sizes made from 1/2" or 3/4 plywood with either a flat birch edging or molding attached. Edging that can vary from thickness of the board used to what ever kind of edging is desired. Seeing how I'm looking at retiring soon, always looking for money making opportunities. What would one be willing to pay for a custom cut and edged, but unfinished base, lets say 18" X 24" with a simple molding? What would be some good "stock" sizes to have on hand for immediate shipping? And keep in mind shipping these can get expensive. Youngtiger1, LSP_K2 and BiggTim 3
alaninaustria Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) I make my own, I use laminated wood, then use router to shape the edge and then sand and varnish etc. I glue grass matting on, cork feet, and trimmed oak stripping (carrier decks), or plaster (concrete base) etc. I could never find anything I liked on the open market, so I made my own.
