Some fuel tank scenery plugs, hypothetical pewter material.

Hey, this is fun. A variety of bases, varying hole positions, 3 positions, 5 positions, 20mm x 40mm variants.

Very Nice Looking.

Are they the same thickness as the GW ones? Would they be made out of similar material?

Same thickness, yes. I calipered a base to start from.

The bases would probably be resin, the doo-dads resin or metal.

Also just a hole filler should be available to plug it without addin scenary.

A standard single-hole punch puts out a slug of whatever material you're punching that perfectly fills the hole in the current bases... don't think there's any need to model and cast such a thing!  *LAUGH*

Agreed. Those micro-scenery bits looks awsome O-man.  :cool:

A spikey barricade thingy, modelled after a bit of WH40K scenery. This particular version has 2 cylindrical plugs on the bottom to fit into the base, but now I realize that it would only fit into a base with straight holes. Therefore, the plugs should go. There should be sufficient stability for it to stand on its own... especially if glue is used.

Too many ideas! Please continue.

Let's start simply. This is a near-standard 12mm by 40mm base, but with the holes straight.

YEEEEesssss !!  :agree:

Remove the plugs, but maybe resize it a bit so it might also fit the front of certain Non-Ordered vehicles if people so desire?
