Halandaar Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Hi all, I have a tendency to base a lot of my models on a slightly larger base size than GW provide/suggest, and I'm about to build a unit that comes with 25mm that I'd like to put on 28.5mm, but the slight complication is that the models are older ones that have tabs for slot bases. I'd prefer not to have to trim all the tabs and hope the connection points are going to be sufficient to hold onto flat bases, but I'm coming up blank searching for any slotted bases in this size. Anybody know of any? (And before anyone suggests it, 3d printing my own isn't an option unfortunately) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379074-285mm-slotted-bases/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firedrake Cordova Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I'm not aware of any slotted bases that size, but my immediate reaction was to use adaptors, so what @Grotsmasha said Halandaar 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379074-285mm-slotted-bases/#findComment-5962368 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jukkiz Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 i mean, if you have specific bases, you can take drillbit to them, drill couple holes in line and just take nippers and file to that.

Anon Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 (edited) Did you try out these adapters? My experience with adapters is that they often do not fit very well and that they don't look good and are not perfectly round. I have the same problem. Want to put wyches on 28,5 bases and you need slotted bases for those. I found these on ebay. Don't know if they are 28 or 28,5 mm https://www.ebay.de/itm/225684436761?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=707-53477-19255-0&campid=5339016303&toolid=10049&customid=777_777_777&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3pKU9YqugwMVmotoCR2y3APiEAYYAiABEgLXMPD_BwE Edited December 26, 2023 by Anon Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379074-285mm-slotted-bases/#findComment-6011761 Share on other sites More sharing options...
