I had no problems removing the plastic bases from my recent lot of 15mm figures using the methods you guys suggest (although I didn't drill and pin mine - it's a static display and just gathers dust so I didn't need the extra strength a pin gives), just not sure it would work for me on metal figures. I guess the only way I'll find out is to bite the bullet and do a few.

My original plan for the figures I bought was for an indoor set-up in 4Ground's Stoic Arms building. I've got the building almost finished from what must be nearly 4 years ago now but I ran out of interest in the project when I started struggling with the figures I bought. Obviously, I can't hide the bases on indoor floors, although it shouldn't be difficult to hide them if I wanted to pose the figures outdoors.

Gary - was it the Artizan figures you wanted me to have a look at? They look to be much better quality than the Knuckleduster ones so I'll keep them in mind. Meantime I'm still thinking about the resin ones Tim found.

I just linked to the 28mm figures
If you move to oo/ho , preiser and a few others do gold miners etc in that scale too

Hi Gary. Sorry it's taken a while to get back to you. I've been nosing around and you're right, there seem to be quite a few figures in the smaller scales. I was hoping to stick to 28mm though. I find this a nice balance between the finer details on the larger figures - given the rather narrow limits of my painting skills - and the difficulty of painting the tiny ones.

Still, it's nice to know there's a decent selection available if I do decide to scale down. Thanks.

The oo/ho are for ''model railways'' , the gold miners set(s) looked good when i was looking at them a few years ago for a friend, the idea being a narrow gauge line up to a mine or river prospectors.

He moved house and project is on hold.
