...that I just received my new custom cut bases from Minibits/Pendraken and I REALLY like the smell of them! They smell like - I don't know - victory.

Thanks again for the excellent service, Leon!  :-bd :-bd =D> =D>

I'm with you d_Guy on the smell.

To be honest, I only buy the figures as an excuse to buy more bases.

I think if we were to gather all the forum members together there would be cornucopia of "interesting" smells.

Nope, laser cut mdf is way too acrid for me. I suppose it reminds me of timber or mdf cut with blunt blades at work, or people cutting said materials incorrectly. However I love the smell of creosote, tar and silage.

I couldn't agree more - lovely.

I think the secret to enjoying the bases is to take them out of their little plastic bags and allow them to breathe a bit.

Ah, creosote. Splash some on your bare flesh and enjoy  :d

We had a few gallon of the 'cure-all' after the good stuff was deemed not-safe for use or sale. Absolutely hated using it, I did.

Yep, brushing it on a fence in the summer was not fun, as you had to be really covered up and it stained anything it touched.

That used to be my job as a kid - creosote the fence.  I love the smell.  you can still buy it if your a registered user.  You have to have proper outbuildings like barns or stables. Wish I could still get it, much better at doing its job than the so called "environmentally friendly" stuff
