Looking for people's views on the different movement/basing trays out there. I have used GWs (for 8 inf /2 mounted) but have a load more to get. I have seen both mdf and resin on ebay, including a neat tray that would base a whole infantry box.

Just looking for opinions.

Anyone know of a supplier that would do custom trays for the various artillery pieces ?

thx

I bought a couple from totallysysemscenic. They have resin bases designed for some of the artillery along with the standard 2 and 8 slot ones. They seem to be good (obviously they dont come painted).

I was very lucky, cause I could buy a lot of infantry MT for cheap.
But I didn't have enough infMT, so I made some. I used hard paper. I don't know its name in English. Its grey, and its 1 mm thick.
I used 2 layers, I cut wholes, so it works perfectly.

Card stock? Cardboard?
Those are the only two I can think of, but it doesn't look like either of those was what you used. Nice homemade tray, by the way.

This is the best by far. You can contact the guy who makes them to customize your own base.

Sorry for hijacking, but does anyone have tips on how to cut homemade trays straight. Mine always get 1-2 mm deviations, which make a huge misalignment when you put six trays with the same error next to each other :( .

Well, I dont know how do you cut, but try to do perfect job. Measure with ruler exactly, then cut it whit a knife next to a metal ruler. This is my method.
