Sorry for nitpicking, but I'm kinda curious just where you draw the line.


Take, for example, this Battlefront ME 262:

[ATTACH=full]41535[/ATTACH]


Same model, same base. Only difference (apart from the paint-job) is that one of the bases has been flocked. Are they both okay?


I’m asking because I’ve been toying with entering a heavily converted Ork Bomba which includes a base:

Would that “fly“…? Ha… Ha… Okay… Sorry… Bad pun…




I can only speak for myself, of course...


I, honestly, think it sucks because a base or crew is a very big part of a model as that’s what creates a setting. A “narrative” if you like...


Yes, I could just paint up a tank, put it down on the table, and take a picture. But where’s the fun in that?

Put it on a base with grass and gently sloping ground, add a few tank-riders, and suddenly you have a T-34 charging across the steppes near Kursk.


As I said in the chat thread, I find un-based models to be utterly boring (in most cases, anyway). But that might just be me...?
