Just a suggestion. A friend of mine uses the magnetized bases for all his
miniatures. He has been buying rolls of the stuff from the hardware store,
which I guess is pretty pricey. Recently, he stumbled across and excellent deal
at Staples (office supply store). They were a package of one-side adhesive
magnetic strips the size of business cards. I can't remember the exact price,
but he said they were much much cheaper than getting the stuff at a hardware
store. For those of you interested in the magnetic base ideas, it might be
worth a trip to the local office store.
Hope that helps,
Bill
