Hello all,
I am in the process of painting a "Large" sized creature, but I didn't like the square base that came with it. My friend found these Easy Carve Printing Stamps at Hobby Lobby for about $4.50.
The disc is 1 3/4" in diameter, so it works perfectly for those "large" creatures that just don't look quite big enough of a full 2" diameter base. The disc does have some flex, so I glued it to a piece of matte board to make it a little more firm.
I glued some more matte board strips on top to make wooden planking, but the disc is designed to be carved to make your own stamps, so you could certainly carve your own base designs directly, if you were so inclined.
Here is an in-progress pic with the mini glued to the base and some black primer painted on.
The planking effect looks good. I like what you did there.
