Working on WotR command stands. Rebased the command figures onto 20mm metal washers to go on 50mm magnetic round bases. The bases originally had some FPW multibased figures, with the bottoms having the magnetic sheets. Removing the magnetic sheets would've torn the plywood bases, so repurposed them for these command stands. Still working on a few more commands, including Richard III. The ones based are from left to right: Edward IV; the Earl of Warwick; Richard, Duke of York; and the Earl of Oxford.
Below is how I was able to carefully scrape off the acrylic caulking from the opposite (former top) side where other figures had been attached.
Well, just a quick post to show you all what I've been working on the last few days. Tomorrow, there's a bring and buy at Fort Steilacoom. After that, I'm invited to an ACW Sharp Practice game down the road from the fort. Until the next update, wishing you all the very best!
Really great looking command stands Dean!

Thanks a lot, Christopher! Plus, I get to reuse the bases I already had. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteLovely command stands Dean!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Mike! I had the figures on different bases, but I like them a lot better on rounds. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteVery nice commsnd staff and bases!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! It was something I had wanted to do for a few years - finally got them done! Warm regards, Dean
DeleteThese command stands are excellent Dean!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much again, Keith! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteLooks like a fiddly job but worth it, I like repurposing things and the bases look great completed
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matt! Yes, I was thinking I'd have to put in another order for bases, but ended up with enough for this and future projects. One thing good about using acrylic caulking is that it usually comes off easily. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteBeautiful command Dean!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Michal! Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteThey look fab Dean. The best thing about the WotR are all the beautiful flags you can use, all at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ray! Yes, I think the way the Perrys packaged their flags by battles is a good idea. However, I have 5 sets of the same one! :) Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteSmart bit of repurposing and lovely command stands!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain. Yes, when I started to pull off the magnetic bottoms, it started to peel off some of the plywood. It then popped in my head to try to use them for the tops with washer based figs. Seemed to work great. Warmest regards, Dean
