Just thinking, Cindy Dukino had a range of bases and she is good at little animals etc...shame she was allergic to the resin  :icon_rolleyes:

[Custom_Hobby]

I hope she gets past the allergy one way or another. She had some nice items.

Very nice rabbits and frogs etc.....

Resin will vulcanise if she didn't make them from something else that won't.

Mind you plasticard will vulcanise........ if you know the right mould maker... even 1/6000 ships made entirely from plasticard thats about the size of a gun for a 28mm figure.

Keep the horns on skulls separate so you can use them on other things.

Armour: Helmets with separate faceplate, you can file downthe head and have the face showing or cut off the head and replace with helmet.
           Shin and arm protectors, shoulder pads.

Shields: Different sizes and shapes, with a choice of faces that can be inserted or it can be left blank and painted yourself.

Steps: If done right then you would need only one basic normal step and others for curving right or left.

Beds: Four poster beds and such.

Weapons: Too many crud*py soft weapons being sold these days, need decent firm weapons and of different styles, eastern and western styles.

Trothies: Severed Heads some hanging by there hair.

Hands: Open, closed, kung-fu style, magic casting style and in different sizes, 25mm, 28mm, 32mm

Cloaks: Old, new, long, short and even hooded.

Perhaps sticking to a theme before randomly deciding on accessarys.

So for eg. Sci fi. - decide if a retro or apocolyptic look is suitable.

I cant think of a retro idea for now, but apocolyptic would be skulls (ie terminator) , pipes/ girders/electrical boxes/ toxic waste / powercells/ razer wire (at an affordable price! )


fantasy - skulls/bodies/ wooden fences/ mugs/ bottles/(perhaps broken mugs/bottles) kegs/barrels/ cannon balls?

Modern - post boxes/ fire hydrants/ newspapers/ bottles/ cans/ vending machines. etc

I would suggest something that could work on either 20 mm bases or larger bases as well. I found the resin pieces for the urban basing kit and heros basing kit were great (im still pissed i missed out on the urban basing kit)

[spinningdice]

Modern and Post Apocalyptic stuff would do me right.

Strange stuff that's left over from before the bomb, pipes, ironing boards, whisky bottles, irons, tires, teapots, kettles, computer monitors... hmm, actually wasn't there a company that did office furnature?

[Custom_Hobby]

Yeah I eureka did office furnature. It was one of those "damn why did I hold off on that idea?" moments.

I'd love to get an entrance to a Dwarf hold.  Basically a big ornate door with a couple of Pillars and fancy bits around it but the cast would be flat at the back so it could be easily stuck to a piece of polystyrene or that Pink Foamy stuff.  Dunno if there'd be a market for it but I know I want one :-)
