More blue board sabot bases

     So, I was playing around with the Proxxon hot wire cutter and made some more sabot bases . Nothing new with the techniques so I won't bore you with all that. I made them into long narrow irregular shapes to depict troops moving in files through bad terrain or (turning ninety degrees) an infantry line that has become unformed or disordered


marching in poor order


the bases could be strung out one behind another
 to represent following a narrow track or a trail through the woods. 

set out in  line they form a ragged group

  1. Pretty cool idea, I like them. Now if only a good friend would make me some for 25mm round bases;)

    Cheers

  4. A 1 inch hole equal 25.4mm I buy my bases from Warbase with a 5mm hole for a magnet. All my troop use magnetic bases and stand. Magnetic from China are cheap 100 for 7 bucks.
