cool, my Christmas dio was a failure,

I like this tutorial, I use marauder versions of the storm trooper blaster, but I can see adding stocks to some of my joe weapons,

Self-made bases

Some of my figures in my collection don't stand. I tried to make my own figure-bases and here you have the result. They are quiet simple to make if you have the right tools.

You need:
*electric drill or hand drill
*drill with a diameter of 2,5mm
*wood (about 5 and 10mm thick)
*wood glue and glue
*cotton swabs
*saw
*hammer
*set square, compass and pencil
*cutter knife
*paint and brush
*sandpaper

construction guidance:
1.) Draw the molds that you want with the set square, the compass and the pencil on the wood.
2.) Cut the bases with the saw out of the wood.
3.)Sand the wood
4.)Stick the single parts with the wood glue together
5.)Mark the position of the figure you want with the pencil on the base
6.)Drill two holes for the cotton swabs in the base
7.)Put the cotton swabs in the holes (use the hammer for this)
8.)Paint the stand in the colours you wish
9.)And finally put the name of the figure and some symbols on the base (I just print them out on normal paper)


I hope that will help you to make your own bases for your figures

and here is the YouTube video for this construction guidance:

Thanks for that great tutorial, Fila! I love how your little bases turn out the application of the home made graphics give it a nice personal touch. This looks like a front page story to me.

those are very cool.  Alot better than my 20 or so gi-joe stands hot glued to a makeshift rack! lol. 

have you ever thought about doing a large set of "shelves" or one long mini dio in a way that it'd display several figures all together?

yeah, I made for some of my Comic packs a dual base and for the Incinerator Trooper with Dart Vader I made also a bigger base

Very nice tutorial,  I know I will be making a few once the weather warms up in a few months.

Wow, great tutorial. I might have to commision a few of these if you would allow me to? I  have a loose collection of all the different atat drivers made somewhere around here and would love to say these were your bases. Thanks for sharing the tutorial though, I think even I could almost pull these off.

It should not be a big problem to make you some of this bases. Just tell me what you need and I will try my best to make you some bases.
