Quiet night tonight. Too quiet, some might say.;)
So I ask this question: I've got an FSE motor biker for SG2 and a
war-pig (KV cavalry?). I'm usually mounting figures on a Canadian penny
(after all, its only worth 0.66 of a real penny). However, this plan is
kiboshed for these figures. They're both about 1" to an 1-1/4 " long and
the bike is about 3/8" to 1/2" wide and the war pig more like 5/8 to3/4"
wide. So.... what to use for base material? Brass sheet? Expensive.
Styrene sheet - can't find any right now. Balsa? I could get a small
piece for these. Hardboard? (The thin cousin of pressboard)
Ideas are appreciated. If they're good, I'll probably use them. If they
aren't, at least I won't send the Narns to see you.... (Except if I get some
sort of a wiseacre remark out of Mr.Kochte.... in his case, the Narns *will*
make an exception).:)
BTW, anyone ask Noam how NEAR is doing, oh so far away? I've seen it in the
news. Anyone know if his piece of kit aboard it is working?:)

Ask your friendly local sign shop if they have bits of Sintra (or Komatex or
equivalent) left over. It's an expanded PVC
sheet and is easy to work with. The local radio-controlled
modellers use it to build ships.

How about if we think up a wiseacre remark and attribute it to Indy, on his
behalf so to speak?
And will the Narns get confused if we refer them to Aslan?
Large sized washers you get from the hardware store work well.
With regards to NEAR, this came earlier from the Pirates webgame which is
running.

Hardboard is very flexible when thin, can also be a pain to work with as it
warps very easily.
Plywood is very good. Light and strong (but often expensive).
