One solution other than basing them (not for me I'm afraid) is to add some small bits of lead to the models to give them substance. One can then bang the tables to one's hearts content without said models bouncing all over the place. <br /><br />Thanks for the 'heads up' re: the September Storm book, I will check this out as always keen for more reference material.Steve J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12143308117853983963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430463007570237159.post-46728469947678868392013-07-26T15:01:40.661+01:002013-07-26T15:01:40.661+01:00Steve, thanks for the link.

And if FoW say the camo was grey and brown, who are we to argue?<br /><br />Genom, I agree, basing would help out the stability of those Zvaezda kits, although my personal preference is not to base vehicles.<br /><br />Stryker, what's this about thumping the table with your fist? Sounds worrying. But then again, if you find it gives you an advantage over your opponent, maybe I'll give it a go...Keith Flinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12903769462646267048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430463007570237159.post-2623071446881693242013-07-26T08:35:53.138+01:002013-07-26T08:35:53.138+01:00I usually base my models on 2mm MDF, but it adds a...I usually base my models on 2mm MDF, but it adds a bit of weight to the models.Genomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05368585712891865345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430463007570237159.post-80119196841412848322013-07-26T05:21:30.121+01:002013-07-26T05:21:30.121+01:00Good post Keith, agree with StrykerGood post Keith, agree with StrykerAlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06718729719551125559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430463007570237159.post-31964999417037912682013-07-25T19:42:48.601+01:002013-07-25T19:42:48.601+01:00A very interesting post!
