I'm finding it hard to find figure bases that are inexpensive but look nice. Today I tried a futile search at the lumber yard for some interesting wood to make my own base. Well they didn't have any (small town at the end of the road). But I did find molding for walls in walnut, cherry etc. And I said self, that might work. So here are 4 pieces of curved molding and a glued together set of 4. Also 2 square pieces. I am going to go and find some dowel to fill the center of the composite base, finish sanding it and then do 3 or 4 coats of clear coat, and I think it will work.
Then I put a figure on one of the squares and with a bit of ground work to kide the design it will work.
$15.00 for the 4 quater pieces and $2.00 for the square and a uniqe base. Cheaper than buying one and paying postage etc. Maybe someone will find this handy.
