A solid basing method, but not one that I've really seen marketed, before. Probably due to how easy it is to make your own texture stamps.

'Easy' being a very relative term, of course. Definitely a good idea.

Very cool.
Lots of things are "easy", but many people don't havethe energy or interest to do them. I expect these will sell well.

It's a shame that these are 50mm. 60mm would have been a better option. The price is fantastic though, when comparing it to the cost of buying resin bases.

The stamps themselves appear to be 3" x 5", the 50mm was just what the examples were stamped on.

Oh, I must have misread. That is great news. I'll definitely be ordering a few of these this month.

I bought a couple of these when they first came out. They're nice, but not THAT much easier than sculpting your own details onto bases after you put green stuff on. They also tend to have a few bubbles in them, so plan to spend a little time tidying the bases up before they cure.
That said, I use them fairly regularly, which is about the highest praise I can give. The company has great customer service too.

What an excellent concept! Seems like something I'd use more for fantasy than for sci-fi, but for more tedious or complex patterns like the fishscale or herringbone brick patterns, it'd be a massive saver of time and energy.
Also, it's great that the stamp is large enough to give you variation so all the bases don't have to be identical.
