Thread: 3rd party bases for purchase?

  1. #1

    Default 3rd party bases for purchase?

    I just went to the Litko site to get some supplies for Origins, and found they no longer sell WoG bases for 2-seaters/heavy fighters or bombers

    Does anyone know of another supplier? I have had very poor results cutting out my own from clear plexi.

    Hi Karl,
    i have a local supplier who makes bases for WoW/WoG , sizes F/ HF / B. Thickness 2mm, rounded edges as per official bases, center hole 3mm. I had 25 HF and 25 B bases for about 50 Euros. Which is more or less the same as 50 US dollars (I think)
    You will need to make gunnery arcs with a ruler and a pen with permanent ink.
    Just one problem: they are heavy ... The 25 HF and 25 B bases together had a weight over one kilo.
    Anyway I attached a pic of them together with original bases.

    Karl - I just ordered one each of a rectangular 81x110mm & a rectangular 67x87mm flight stand from Litko's website. The order went through.
    Are these the sizes you are looking for?

    The 657 x 87mm is what I need. Wonder why they aren't listed under WOG???

    Would that be the 44 x 67mm ones? Those are still up on Litko

    I can! Thanks. And bomber stands on the "Some people bought this also" line
    Wonder why they aren't tagged right.
    Order in now.
    Thanks again.
