Love the thicker outlines!
Looks much more 'figure-like'!

I think its great that Jim has been releasing his parts so that we all can do some experimenting! Totally! It's a nice, easy, non-time consuming way for Jim to expand the number of poses without him having to actually do it himself! onemonkeybeau

Cool stuff, Audrey!
I'll be watching your site for news about your game... it looks great so far!
I also think that if you and Darkmook joined forces, the horror gaming world would never be the same... in a good way!

Dang it! I'm late to the party!
Audrey,
Welcome to the fun!
I think your figure looks great and with the few crits from the others it's going to be an ace fig!
Looking forward to watching your figs develop... and remember, have fun!

Andy!
MIGHTY fine work there my friend!
I really like the kilt and how absolutely 3D it looks!
The face is also a standout... excellent job!
Looking forward to MANY more figs in your style!

Heh heh... Here you go! This is From DaveA (tonsha): Well, I used Jim's standard octagonal 40mm bases and removed the 'vertical' tabs that allow you to slip figures in and out.
Scored the base as normal. I also inked a coloured line across the middle of the white octagon - just in case the textured halves of the base don't exactly meet (and they probably won't).
Cut the tab at the bottom of the figure and scored each half so that one half of the tab folds to the front and the other half to the rear of the figure.
Glue the figure to the middle of the white octagon.
Fold and glue the textured halves of the base so that they cover the figure tabs.
The glue the completed base onto mounting board and cut out the base again when it is all dry.
Finally, use a black pen to edge the base.

Hey guys! Just thought I'd post a few pics of the finished test build of the Elf Army: Basic Troops set coming out on Friday. I tried an altered version the 'flat basing technique as discussed here: onemonk.proboards89.com/index.cgi?board=basing&action=display&thread=589It's altered because I cut the base tabs completely off the figure and glued the figure directly to the base. I was worried about stability but found that if I used a bit more glue than I thought necessary, the figure firmed up and was quite rigid after a night of drying. This method also eliminates the bump under the base from the figure tabs that bugged me so much! I really like this method and the way it looks and have decided to make all models from her on out using this method. In fact, it should be easy for me to convert all my previous models to this basing style... just chop off the tab and re-base. An added bonus to this basing style is the fact that since the feet over hang the base a little bit when you rank them up the feet act as a clamp and actually hold the figures together. Pretty cool. It may be a bit more work putting them together as you have to angle them in against each other, the added stability as a ranked whole is worth it! See the ranked picture below to see what I mean. Any way, here are the pics and the final figs will be out on Friday, March 6th! lh6.ggpht.com/_tAbmT7s-hec/SasYVopAB-I/AAAAAAAAAsM/Ryi-GcTF19c/s400/New Basing closeup - on prop.jpg[/img] Enjoy! onemonkeybeau

Wow grendelkitty!
These look awesome!
Now all we need is someone to take on the coloring for these bad boys!
Any takers?

So I'm building some Flat Hex bases tonight and if my eyes don't deceive me, the edges are not equal lengths...
It seems to me that the top and bottom edges of the hexes are shorter than the side edges. And just the opposite with the regular hex bases.
Anybody else see this, or am I crazy?

Hey Dave,
Is there a 'bulge' where the tabs from the figure meet underneath the base tops... it seems to me there would be a little bulge, but I don't see any in your pics.

Astounding! I'm going to have to try flat basing... <thanks a lot Dave... now I'm going to have to re-base ALL my figs...> onemonkeybeau

Nooooooo... Dave, why did you have to go and post that picture...
<sigh>
OK... I'm going got have to try it...
OK, so what did you use for the bottom of the base and did you make up your own textured tops?
And, oh yes, cutting to the line is the ONLY way to go.

Yeah, I did this with the Hybrid Stalkers and they hold up great... I have yet to try it on a 'normal' fig though. I'm kind of afraid to... because I'm afraid it will look too cool and then I'll have to go and redo all 350 figs with flat bases... onemonkeybeau
