That is correct.

I still have not made back the money we spent to have the 30mm base mould made as that was a concept for a base I thought was needed for my own game (just glad it also worked for Heroscape later). And that base is a popular seller.

I want to help ... just need to think through options. I'm talking with my pewter caster to see if he has any ideas.
