πŸ”§ Material & Build

Injection-moulded from ABS plastic β€” the same family of materials used in LEGO bricks. ABS does not warp, holds its shape over time, and bonds reliably with superglue (cyanoacrylate) and two-part epoxy. The textured top surface grips PVA, texture paste, and basing sand without needing to score or rough up the surface first. Takes all spray and brush-on primers cleanly.

Every mould in the OBS range is designed in-house using industry-standard CAD β€” these are not generic imports. We control the full production chain from design through to quality control. Mould lines are clean and consistent.

The 50Γ—25mm rectangle keeps a low 3.9mm profile. The 1.3mm floor provides a solid platform for mounted models without unnecessary bulk, and 2.6mm of underside clearance comfortably fits 3Γ—2mm disc magnets β€” use two side by side for a reliable hold during transport.

βœ… Compatibility

50Γ—25mm rectangle is the standard cavalry base format across mass-battle fantasy and historical wargaming. Used for mounted troops, cavalry characters, and smaller war machines. Correct for organised and competitive play in systems that specify a 50Γ—25mm rectangular footprint.

The 50Γ—24mm bottom footprint matches the historical cavalry base dimensions used by the hobby for decades β€” a direct replacement that slots straight into existing movement trays and formation blocks without adjustment. Top-edge dimensions of 49.8Γ—23.8mm sit within standard 50Γ—25mm nominal sizing.

Pairs with 25mm square infantry bases in the same ranked formation systems. OBS rectangle movement trays and converters are designed around this footprint.

Part of the Open Basing System (OBS)

One Ecosystem Β· Every Size Β· Every Shape

OBS is a modular basing ecosystem designed as a whole β€” not a random collection of bestsellers. Every size, shape, converter, and tray is planned to work together. Independent and gamer-built.

➜ Movement Trays β€” formation blocks for ranked cavalry regiments
➜ Other Rectangle Sizes β€” 50Γ—75mm, 50Γ—100mm, 60Γ—30mm for larger cavalry and war machines
➜ Square Bases β€” 20mm to 100mm for infantry, characters, and monsters in the same systems
➜ Base Converters β€” transition between square and round for multi-system collections

New products added regularly β€” the OBS range is always growing.

πŸ’‘ From the Workbench

PREP

Wash before priming β€” a quick rinse in warm soapy water removes mould release residue. Dry completely before spraying.

BONDING

Superglue (CA) bonds ABS cleanly for plastic and resin cavalry kits. For heavier metal models, pin with 0.5–0.8mm brass rod through the hooves or contact points and reinforce with two-part epoxy for a permanent hold.

MAGNETS

2.6mm underside clearance fits 3Γ—2mm disc magnets. Use two placed towards each end of the base for a balanced hold in transport β€” especially useful for cavalry regiments that need to come on and off movement trays quickly. CA gel, check polarity before it sets.

RANKING UP

Keep texture and scenic material off the bevel edges β€” clean edges mean tight formation ranks with no gaps. Batch-prime on painter's tape strips for consistency. A uniform rim colour across the regiment ties the unit together visually.
