Excellent! Marvellous! Thank you! Late last night on my phone I saw that that you'd posted so I had a bit of a waiting-for-Christmas-morning experience to get onto the main PC to check out the PDF. Santa has brought desert bases! Which figures to print first .... ? I may just have to pick up a copy of Jabbro Jones's Just Deserts / Desert Minions onemonk.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=jabbroreleases&action=display&thread=1607for use with Vexing Sands, naturally, Aces!

That is exactly what I planned to do!!!! Also was going to use Jabbro's free figures along side OneMonk's Adventurers for use with your Dungeon sets. Thanks Jim! ~F

These look good. The only concern I have is that since the One Monk miniatures FOLD on the red line (between the black rectangles), then you will have to match these up but NOT fold on the red line, but actually CUT that line ... Hmmm... Looks like if someone were to make miniatures to fit with these particluar bases, they should have the FOLD line on the TOP. Some of my original figures I started to do last year looked like that... Of course, I was trying to make them with their OWN bases. They seemed to work pretty well, for the most part. (OF course on these particular figures they don't have arms. The arms were interchangeable so you could modify them as their weapons changed).

Yup. That's the plan. Or simply fold the black tab, after placing in slot, forward or backward and glue to underside of top of my bases. Edit: surely those bases create a slightly bent effect to the leg? Or does it look like the boot/foot extends across the base? Perhaps I'm thinking too literally of GW square bases. If I was to incorporate IA flag stone bases into figure pages I'd set up a base similar to the doors in my plans I think (but slimmer).

Well these are "older" prototype figures. The bases had a "flag" that looked similar to the bases Jim did. The feet actually had a 3D look to them, and when finished, It gave the appearance of feet standing on the ground. (Of course, the rear par of the foot was actually too long, because I abandoned this concept before finishing it completely). The BIGGEST draw-back of these bases was the bases weren't rigid enough due to just a single layer. Let me see if I have any pictures of the figures completed... Not the best picture, but you get the idea.

I rather like the 3D foot effect, and your picture there demonstrates the practicality of a thin but flexible base (the chap on the left appears to have a firm grip!) Photos: Okay, please ignore the really bad figure trimming (done in a low light with scissors!) Also photos were taken with phone in my partner's kitchen ... but hey, improvisation ... Try not to mix two base styles together. 3D "plinth" base and a flat base. What's interesting, is that due to my long tabs, minimal gluing is required, because the box holds together (although I'm sure many of the modellers here could do a better job - I can draw this stuff, but putting it together is a challenge for me) There's also space in the 3D base for coin to act as a weight. Economic modellers may want to create a limited number of bases and change the figures as and when required (remember not to use glue).
