🥇 170x105mm Oval Bases
Premium Injection Moulded ABS Plastic
⭐ Part of the Open Basing System (OBS) ⭐
🏆 The Base You Know — But Better
You know this base size. It's a standard oval used across the hobby. But if you've used the ones from that big corporation, you also know the problems: thin walls that flex, bases that warp over time, wobbling on the table.
We took those pain points and fixed them. Same dimensions, same compatibility — but built the way it should have been from the start.
⚖️ The Trade-Off (We're Being Honest):
More material = more weight. Our bases are heavier than the flimsy originals. For most hobbyists this is actually a benefit (better stability, more solid feel) — but worth knowing if you count grams for tournament travel.

❓ FAQ
Is this injection moulded or 3D printed?
Injection moulded from premium ABS plastic. Better consistency and durability than 3D printed alternatives.
Can I fit magnets underneath?
Yes — the 5mm height provides ~3mm of internal space, enough for standard hobby magnets.
What does "OBS Compatible" mean?
OBS (Open Basing System) is our universal system. These bases work with our movement trays, converters, extenders, and all future products.
Do I need to prep these before basing?
No — the textured surface accepts primer, glue, and basing materials straight away. Just start creating.
Miniatures shown in photos are for scale reference only and are not included.
Bases are supplied unpainted and ready for your creative touch.
03 OBS FAQs
Can I add magnets underneath OBS bases?
Check the selected option's underside opening and available underside depth in Technical Specifications before choosing magnets. Magnet fit depends on the actual cavity dimensions and the magnet you plan to use, so it should not be assumed to be the same across every base.
How do I choose the right base size?
Start with the base footprint required for your model or game, then confirm the selected option against the Technical Specifications. If you are replacing an existing base, measure it carefully and compare its physical footprint before ordering.
How should I use the technical drawing?
Choose your option first, then use the technical drawing and Technical Specifications to check the physical dimensions of the product. When matching an existing part or accessory, use the drawing rather than relying on the product name alone.
Can I rely on the nominal size alone?
No. Products with similar nominal sizes can have different physical dimensions or fit differently across brands and systems. Check the technical drawing, specifications and any product-specific compatibility note before ordering.
