Mehhh. Not much of a base builder, Joe. Not good at it and I don't enjoy doing them. I do however enjoy other persons efforts. They do add a lot to a build.

Jeff, please do not use that plastic p.o.s. base, make a small one, it's fun and you can build whatever you like. The figures look lovely !

Strange the base is so small, I'm sure you will come up with a suitable solution  |

Thanks, Guys. Yeah, the kit base is weak to say the least.  Don't know what's up with it. I may have a solution though. I went through my other unbuilt Revell/Matchbox kits and found this one. Not perfect but better, I think.  Tell me what you think, Lads. Be honest. |

I like the idea of a big garden rock better with a bit of grass glued to it in places... Just my 2 cents worth... see what the others think!!!  |

With the correct materials (paint/pigments/dirt/sand / ) that could work Jeff .

I was racking my brain to remember which kit I came from. I built every one of these when they were the multicoloured Matchbox one’s. Great times |

I've got one of those two tone kits. It's the L70. |

Could you incorporate that base into a larger one?

I could, but I'm not going to, Keith. Like I said. Not too big on bases.
