Hi folks,

I have a few AFV kits that I'll be turning into small dioramas over time (when I get time!) I was just wondering if there are any pre-made wooden display bases out there. I would make them myself but I don't have the facilities to make nice ones at the moment. Does anyone know anywhere that sells a selection? Thanks .

Will.

These are all custom made.

There are pre-made wooden plaques.
You can also use a picture frame with the glass removed. That gives you a quick decorative edge to a base.

Hi Will,

When I was down at MK this year there was a lady from Just Bases who ahd a grand selection.

Thanks guys all those replies are really helpful!! I will look around all the places you suggested. Cheers .

You might also consider this one, depending on shipping rates - I've had only the best of experiences with them. Their stock of self-made bases is huge:

Will, another good and not expensive is your local thropy shop. I get alot of them that they have redone over the years. Just got one for nothing as they do all my name plates. Was solid walnut 12x12 with fancy corners.

you can also try an arts and craft store that sell a lots of diferent types of crafts and they have a large selection of wood bases that you can paint or stain for the look that you want ... hasta.............
