I want to rebase my entire ECW collection. Thing is, what is the best way of getting the figures of the old bases. Would be interested in peoples thoughts as I never rebased before. Will be basing from 60x30 to 60x30 and 30x30, and using baccus basing kit also would like to know roughly how many bases with one basing kit do.

as a side line my smart phone does not the forum when want to leave messesges or perhaps it is the other way round. .

Thanks

Jonathan

What glue did you use the first time round? - makes a big difference. If it's white glue then you should be able to simply sit the current bases in a shallow tray of water up to their feet to soften the glue.

You can't whack a Stanley Knife - ouch! But the blade does get between the figure base and the movement base.

A little goes a long way

Another vote for a sharp craft knife. Get the blade between the figure base and stand and use a cutting motion, don't lever. Any glue left on the figure base can be easily removed with sandpaper.
