Base for 1/10 bust
Posted by DOB on Tuesday, September 28, 2010 1:38 PM

Hello all!  I have just purchased a 1/10 bust of a Waffen SS from Young miniatures and I am wondering what base I should use, and where to buy it on the internet.  Thanks in advance to all!!

really, anything will do. a chunk of wood, a fancy resin base, whatever fits the mood of the character. I see a lot of busts on vertical rectangular prisms of wood, and mounted with a brass rod.

Use anything you like and do not limit yourself to the internet.

I've used a cut down candle stick from Michael's which I stained for one but. I've picked up some nice bases from semi professional base makers that fit the subject. Do a search at http://www.timelinesforum.com/ and http://www.planetfigure.com/. There are several dealers who have posted their wares there.

You might even search around the reenactor sites to see if there's a german medal or SS runes to attach to a simpler base for this figure.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
