One sample per qualifying order. Subject to availability.

BASE CONVERTERS

Keep Your Models on Their Existing Bases

Change the footprint, not the miniature. OBS converters help you update base size or shape without permanently rebasing painted models.

Available conversions depend on the original base shape and the footprint you need to create.

Always check current game rules before changing a model's footprint.

MOVEMENT TRAYS

Move Your Unit as One

Choose a standard tray for your base shape, size and formation — or use an adapter when existing bases need to work in a different compatible tray layout.

THE OBS SYSTEM

One System. Designed to Work Together.

OBS bases, converters, movement trays and display extenders are designed around matching geometry, so you can build, adapt, organise and display your collection with more confidence.

Choose the parts you need — each is designed around compatible OBS geometry.

Designed as a system

Bases, converters, movement trays and display extenders are developed around matching OBS dimensions.

Technical dimensions shown clearly

Use the product drawing to check true dimensions, fitment and overall footprint before buying.

Precision-fit approach

OBS parts are designed for precise fit across supported OBS components and compatible base footprints.

Keep your options open

Build, convert, move or display models without committing to a permanent rebase.

MAGNET-READY UNDERSIDES

Ready for Your Own Magnets

OBS bases have an open underside with usable space around the raised Hobby Heaven logo, ready for a separately chosen magnet for storage and transport.

There is no fixed magnet slot or universal magnet size. Check the technical drawing on the relevant product page to assess the available underside space before choosing a magnet.

Magnets sold separately.

How do I find my base size?

Use our life-size printable templates to compare your model or existing base before ordering. Base sizes can vary between older models, game editions and manufacturers.

Find My Base Size
Will an OBS converter fit my existing base?

OBS converters are designed for specific original base shapes and sizes. Check the relevant product drawing for original fit, resulting footprint and added height before ordering

What is the difference between a converter and a movement tray?

A converter changes the footprint of one existing base. A standard movement tray holds multiple bases in a formation. A movement tray adapter helps existing bases work in a supported different tray layout — it is not a base converter.

Can I add magnets to OBS bases?

Yes. OBS bases have an open underside with usable space around the raised central Hobby Heaven marking for magnets you choose and glue in yourself. There is no fixed magnet recess or universal magnet size. Check the relevant product drawing to assess available space. Magnets sold separately.

Is this a physical product or a digital STL file?

Physical OBS products are manufactured and shipped to you. STL files are digital downloads for use with your own 3D printer — no physical product is shipped. DIGITAL FILE — NO PHYSICAL PRODUCT SHIPPED. Availability varies by design, so not every OBS product is offered in both formats.
