Thanks, y'all. My camera has a wide angle effect that distorts the scale of the background. The base might be a little out of scale but in real life it's not as bad as it looks in the photos. I've tried to figure out how to compensate for it but I don' think I can. Weird. [img]confused.gif[/img]
That looks great dude....I hate you !!! I hate youuuuu !!!! [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img]
Dude! I don't know if anybody has told you this yet, but it looks a lil of scale. [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Xcellent!!

Great work! I love it! [img]smile.gif[/img]
All it really needs is to have the brick wall go up to head height.

Why are investors dragging their feet? We need your bases now madadman! Please give me names/addresses, I'll go and "chat" with them.
Seriously though, how much do you need to start this company? Maybe, you could propose the idea to Todd McFarlane. A new company, within a company.

man that thing is PERFECT! (well, a lamp post would add to the perfection [img]wink.gif[/img] )
what's the wood parts made out of?
That looks amazing. Excellent work, Madadman. I really like the lighting in that picture, too.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Have to agree with EQ. There is an open market for bases. There is the posibility to cast it and paint it too....Quote:

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thanks you guys. Really appreciate the support and kind words. I'm doing everything I can to make this happen. I agree with you MM, there is definitely a market (I have the data to back it up). Problem is investors generally don't know much about the toy biz (they like hi tech stuff) and it's a tough sell. Profit margins aren't that high. It's frustrating but the waiting has given me time to perfect the designs. So it's not a total loss.Quote:

Oh, and as far as talking to Todd, EQ - I've thought about it. But when it comes down to it, what would he need me for? [img]wink.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I agree about the lamp post. [img]wink.gif[/img] The wood parts are made out of... wood. [img]smile.gif[/img] I used balsa wood strips. Textured them and repainted them.Quote:

Been wanting to build a cool alley base for a while but it took some time to find the right parts. After a few months of hobby shop shopping and web searches I pulled together most of the stuff I needed - special thinks to Dajistano for the brick wall from his Niobe base.

Most of the parts are custom made but I found the electric meter through, of all places, a dollhouse supply company. Taking the wall pieces apart and gluing them back together was a pain but it ended up working pretty well.
Here's the base with Spawn i.07...

And Snake Plissken...

I've got a few other figs I want to try out on the base but it's probably gonna be Spawn's permanent home. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Perfect Spawn base.
Nice lighting in the pics too. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Very nicely done! Looks amazing!
Just a tad out of scale... but still looks great!!
That is <u>SWEET</u> looking! Excellent job!
...a little small for the Spawn fig imo
