I like that a lot. Ray, is 1/2 inch the height that you are going for? I decided I would still do an IKube-style blank base for myself, but I did it at 3/4 inch height

Pentagon Shape?
Care for a Pentagon Shaped Base?
Pentagon.pdf Here is one with photo top: Pentagon-Photo.pdf Here is one photo top and partial sides: Pentagon-Photo2.pdf Here is one with full sides: Pentagon-Photo3.pdf Used the same side for all 5-could not find suitable photo for each side. Each edge is 4" long x 1/2" High. I gray scaled the dash lines so they are harder to see once the base is complete. Do these work okay or should I make them darker/lighter? Pentagon shape for military models? Mike

The Toposolitario IKube-based base concept works, though I should have used thicker cardstock.

Mike and Dave - These are very useful bases. Many thanks.
Ray - I have been using and adapting a design that Don Weeks invented. Images below. I suspect that if you contacted him, he would be inclined to share the design. Don |

Those look like they could easily be converted to a fold-flat version. Hmmm

Yes. I had meant to mention that although my bases are all permanently glued, thre is no reason why the design could not easily be adapted to the kind of fold-flat tabbed construction that Ray was looking for.
