๐ Part of the Open Basing System (OBS)
Tired of being told what base sizes you have to use? So were we. The Open Basing System is our answer - a growing range of base sizes that gives you, the hobbyist, the freedom to base your models however you want.
Big corporations dictate base sizes to sell you their products. We think that's backwards. Your models, your army, your choice. OBS keeps expanding with sizes that hobbyists actually ask for - not what some company decides you need this edition.
๐ก 75mm fills the gap between 60mm and 80mm - ideal for larger characters, small monsters, and centrepiece models that need room to breathe without going full monster-base territory.
๐ฆ What You're Getting
75mm round bases - generous size for larger models without jumping to full monster bases. Plenty of room for scenic basing and dynamic poses.
Why 75mm? Sometimes 60mm feels tight for a big character or small monster, but 80mm+ looks excessive. 75mm is that sweet spot - room for a proper scenic base without overwhelming smaller models.
Pack sizes: Single (1), Small set (3), Standard (5), Project pack (10)
โ ๏ธ About FDM Printing & Layer Lines
What are seams? Every FDM print has a visible line where each layer starts and ends - this is called a "seam" or "Z-seam." It's a thin vertical line running from top to bottom of the base edge. This is not a defect - it's a natural characteristic of the printing process.
Layer lines: FDM printing builds objects layer by layer, so you may see subtle horizontal lines on the surface. These are completely normal and largely disappear once you apply primer and paint.
๐ก Tip: Most hobbyists find these details invisible after priming. If you're doing display-quality work and want glass-smooth surfaces, resin bases might suit you better - but for gaming armies, these work brilliantly.
๐งช Why PETG?

๐ช Tough More impact resistant than PLA |
๐ฅ Heat Resistant Won't warp in hot car |
๐จ Paintable Takes primer & paint well |

๐งฒ Glue Friendly Works with super glue & plastic cement |
โ๏ธ Light & Stable Good centre of gravity |
โป๏ธ Recyclable Better for the environment |
๐จ Creative Uses for 75mm Rounds
The "generous but not giant" size - perfect for models that deserve more presence:
๐ฌ When you want your hero to stand out from the rank-and-file, or need room for that elaborate scenic base you've been planning.
๐ ๏ธ Quick Prep Tips
- Wash before priming - A quick soap & water rinse removes any residue and helps primer stick better.
- Use a good primer - Spray primers like Vallejo, Army Painter, or Citadel work great. One light coat is usually enough.
- Sand if needed - For ultra-smooth finish, 400-600 grit sandpaper before priming. Usually not necessary for tabletop standard.
- Basing materials - Texture paste, sand, static grass, tufts all adhere well. PVA and super glue both work.
๐ Which Pack Size?
| Pack | Best For | ๐ฐ |
|---|---|---|
| 1 pc | Single centrepiece, display model | Try first |
| 3 pcs | Hero collection, character trio | Good starter |
| 5 pcs | Small monster unit, warband leaders | Most popular |
| 10 pcs | Full monster squad, army heroes | Best value |
โ Common Questions
Q: Is 75mm a standard size in any game system?
A: Not really - most systems jump from 60mm to 80mm or larger. That's exactly why we made it. OBS fills the gaps that corporations ignore.
Q: How does 75mm compare to other sizes?
A: It's about 25% larger than 60mm (or GW's 63mm) and noticeably smaller than 80mm+. Good middle ground for models that outgrew 60mm but don't need monster-sized bases.
Q: Do I need to prime them?
A: Highly recommended. Primer gives paint something to grip. Acrylic paint on unprimed PETG can scratch off more easily.
Q: Can I drill pin holes?
A: Yes, PETG drills cleanly. Use a pin vice and go slowly - essential for heavier metal or resin models on larger bases.
Q: Do you make other OBS sizes?
A: Yes! Check our shop for the full range - from small infantry bases to large monster bases, plus ovals and specialty sizes.
