Hi all, i found a whole load of empty picture frames in the loft the other day and i've been looking for ideas for bases to display figures on but i can't think of any apart from pretty basic rubble or grass ones.
Also, i have one which tilts upward and could be used for a diorama on a slope

basically i'm just probing for some ideas, preferably ww2 related
drop any ideas in here

thanks a lot,
T

Here's a couple I premiered at the Triad show last summer. Sorry the pics are so bad. I was still using a cheapo camera back then but you get the idea.

I fashioned 4 of the mini dios just for the show and each was a designed as a corner-piece. The other 2 were background with a chainlink fence and a corrogated metal building. The picture frame idea should work out well for these type of displays.
