Problem
Many wargamers have miniatures on 25 mm bases. Sometimes you need to increase the size of their base, to match the visual of your army or to comply with rules. This is where we help. The adapter allows you to solve a typical problem, where 25 mm miniatures need a 32 mm base.

Production and material
The adapters will be created with injection molding in plastic. This allow for a very precise, cheap and solid product. Production will be done by a professional company in Italy, with years of experience.

Designing process
First generation of solutions consisted of vertical sides. The bases looked completely different from the original, and had a poor attachment area.

We wanted make a better solution. To get beveled edges, we had to create an adapter consisting of two parts. However! Splitting the adapter in two made it very hard to align all three components!

The solution was a bottom for the adapter. The benefit is twofold. Firstly it allowed the adapter allign perfectly with the base. Secondly, the new 32 mm standard were actually higher. Which meant the base could be close to the same height.

We aimed get the best possible solution for extending a miniatures base. We believe this is the answer.

Eccentric games already produces this product for cheaper?

Why is there a base upside down underneath a base?

If you read the OP carefully, this is explained.

Not quite accurate. The Eccentric Miniatures ones are $3/12, or 25¢. Shipping on that is $5.
Based on todays exchange rates, 85 DKK (the lowest product pledge) comes to $12.48/50, or 25¢ each. Shipping on that pledge (again, at exchange rates) is $4.41.

Also, the Eccentric Miniatures one (based on the images on their site) is just a ring that rests around the 25mm base. The ones from TTAdapters are designed with a lip on the bottom. The difference is an adapter you can lift off - leaving the mini standing on the table - or one that stays connected to the mini when you move it.
