I was only thinking yesterday, what about re-doing the unit name plates on light brown card and 'terraining' the 'pin plates'. I did light brown regiment number labels for my SYW units and they are readable but unobtrusive. The next time I'm down at the local 'art shop' I think I'll buy some.

I have my SYW infantry based in six bases of four, but I'm not rebasing them.

I also like the tighter look. I suppose I would since it is what I use :).<br /><br />Have you considered using a light touch/wash of green on the unit labels? They would be easily read but less obvious.

Mine are based in sixes too but on 60mm x 50mm, so a bit more spaced out, and only eighteen figures for a standard unit.Tony Mileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03046365128769273868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946235325566947321.post-18667693219848990162018-10-02T21:23:30.344-07:002018-10-02T21:23:30.344-07:00I salute you sir, rebasing is not fun, well done. ...I salute you sir, rebasing is not fun, well done.

I have ACW on 50mm (6 per base double ranked), which is there or there abouts. The Perry 28mm ACW Battle in a Box provide plastic bases for 45mm basing (6 per base, double ranked), so you are in good company :-)<br />Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031444717952755557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946235325566947321.post-80172763459915672702018-10-02T11:03:21.330-07:002018-10-02T11:03:21.330-07:00The new basing looks excellent.
