The granny Grating with the round holes was something like $0.75 a sheet at Michaels, pretty cheap really. But I think that drywall bead stuff that POX is using on his great board project
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/120/391965.page#4132870
would also do the job. There is much experimenting yet to be done with the putty method!
Shas, what is alginate?

oh we had that intense discussion some 40 pages ago... and i still remeber my response to your almost identical response dave... and i will do so now again... them peeps that ask for casts are doing that to express their admiration of your stuff... simple as that, a grown up way to show the exitement of a child  i would be lying if i said i don´t want to have some davestuff for my own mini´s... but to be honest... having some unique made bases or heck anything is the true thing! so...more of this special uniqueness than quantity done admittledly with very good skills^^
by the way... what i would like to see, if you care to accept the challange is:
wooden floors
sewer bases?
bases that look like tops of crates and other storage thingies...
just off the top of my head...

Also, the electronic circuit board I used to rune the lighting in the Electro-Hawk. Plus it is sturdy. May have a re-usability factor to it.....

Remember, everything split three ways (including set up costs) as well as profits.
If one enterprising individual has the free cycles to do both the marketing job and the molding/casting job and he/she takes 2/3 cut- well then, more power to them! It just isn't for me is all I'm saying.

Hey those rivets are sexy.... but not as sexy as power cables
Na don't bother casting those, only when you work on something several hours in a row so it's worth copying... got to pack a lot of detail in there first

HAHA thanks guys.
However, I was just looking at my "competition" so to speak...
Dragonforge 
http://dragonforge.com/Painting%20service/for%20sale/base_sets/sci-fi/tech-deck.htm
It's really hard to compete with something that is already perfect!
But now I see that I need to step it up a notch! And I will.

Dave, unless you used a 3D printer, I wouldn't compare the basses. I have to tell meyself that a lot. Sure, there are some amazing things out there, but a lot of it is printed. And yes, they are really detailed and look great, but it's like comparing apples and oranges.
I'm not saying those bases from dragonforge are 3d printed, but they look like it.
I know it takes some skill to use the 3D programs, but it's a bit like cheating. IMO.

Hence why I play FO on an X-box! with the PC you can cheat like mad. I know a fella who makes himself immune to damage, thus eliminating the risk factor(And part of the fun) as he basically walks about having target practice. But of course on a console they do hand out achievements for healing with food/stimmpaks/sleep, etc.

A 200 c/ ml mold is about 13$ worth of the smoothon sillicon. The typical volume of a base is between 10, and 15 c/ ml.

Hey man we love your work and have grown fond of you as a person. I am sorry my idea of casting has vexed you so. I brought it up only as a vehicle for change in your life.
