Small display bases (1 Viewer)

[chalklands]

Hi,
Can anybody help?
I'm trying to source some smallish round (5-6 inches diameter) display bases.
Similar to this:

It is made out of MDF.

I got this from ebay a while ago, but the seller has stopped producing them. I've searched on the internet for something similar to no avail.

Thanks

Pete

I've seen such things in craft stores here in the US. That may be a place to look it they have such places in the UK

Wasn't there a toy soldier dealer in South Carolina (who I think may have retired and sold his toy soldier business to Tim Tyler) who makes or made bases and small display cases?

Thanks for your replies.
There is a hobbycraft store locally, I'll try there.

Thanks for your suggestions. Unfortunately we don't have these stores in the UK....I think Hobbycraft is the only one!

You're going to have to find a store that caters to figure painters. Maison Militarie might have something like what you want - or Historex Agents.

The only other suggestion is a craft store or possibly an awards/trophy shop. Antiques shops offer possibilities as well - one of my freinds has used an old lamp base for a base. Good luck.

Get ahold of Military Modeling Magazine or Figurines Magazine for some more ideas on dealers. Being from the US, I don't have much contact with UK mechants. Hope this helps.
