Base end: The bottom of each stem is flat — glue it directly to any base surface with superglue or two-part epoxy. No slot needed. Works with any OBS base — 25mm and 32mm round are the most common pairing for infantry, but any base with enough surface area works.

Model end: The semi-circular cradle at the top wraps around a part of the model from below — an armor plate, a leg, a torso section, a cloak edge. The cradle grips the model's geometry rather than requiring a drilled hole. Position the model where it looks natural and superglue the contact point.

The curve: Unlike straight stems that just lift a model vertically, the curved design creates a sweeping arc — your model looks like it's mid-leap or mid-dive rather than floating in place. Mix the three heights across a squad for variation.

Designed for infantry-sized models — jump troops, flying heroes, leaping creatures, and any model you want elevated off the base in a dynamic pose. The cradle mount grips the model's existing geometry, so no drilling or modification is needed — find a suitable contact point on the underside and glue.

The flat base glues to any base surface — no slot required. Most commonly paired with 25mm or 32mm round bases for infantry, but works with any base in the OBS range. Position the stem where it looks best and gives the model a natural angle of motion.

One Ecosystem · Every Size · Every Shape

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

New products added regularly — the OBS range is always growing.

Look at the model's underside for a natural contact point — an armor plate edge, a belt section, the underside of a cloak, or the bend of a leg. The semi-circular cradle should wrap around a part of the model where the join looks intentional, not awkward. Test-fit before gluing.

Use the tallest stem for models in dramatic leap poses, the medium for standard jump troops, and the shortest for models just clearing the ground. Mixing heights across a squad makes the unit look dynamic and natural — not every model jumps to the same altitude.

The flat bottom glues to any base surface. Roughen both the base top and the stem foot lightly with sandpaper for a stronger bond. Superglue works well — hold for 30 seconds. Position the stem off-centre and angled toward the direction of motion for a more dynamic look.

The stems are transparent so they disappear on the table. Avoid getting primer, paint, or texture paste on them. If you're basing around a glued-in stem, mask it with tape first. Any paint that gets on clear plastic is very visible.
