Lettering

Post by Pipey »

Anyone konw where I would get some of those tiny plastic letters / numbers from that people sometimes stick on base edges?

The ones I saw Levinas struggling with when naming the Waterbowl legacy team this year...

Cheers

To add a little more to this, I most people use the 3mm letters, here's a little pic of how the 3mm's look (not too sure how to scale it down a bit though): Image

I also know Levinas used the 2mm letters on the Waterbowl legacy team (because he told me back when I PM'd him askin what the letters were).

here's a great basing supplies page: http://impactminiatures.net/index.php?option=basing
3mm letters, down to the right :) (or this link http://impactminiatures.net/index.php?o ... id=SP_SAN3)

This http://impactminiatures.net/index.php?o ... id=SP_HBWM is also great for bb, makes the magnetized ball you get from some shop I don't remember atm stick to the base :)

No bother.

I'm just glad one member of Team Scotland sees fit to extend the caber of peace to our southern neighbors...
