Re-basing

[fsn]

Err ... no.

Some good ideas here. Personally, I'd be inclined to combine the soak in water overnight and prise methods. I am just about to embark on a big rebasing project myself, and variants of it have usually worked for me in the past. And most of my basing is with UHU, precisely because super glue is such a bu..er to get without acetone, and acetone and acrylics are not best buddies!

Fun int it 

Thrilling...only another thirty or so to go

I resolved in 2009 never, ever, to rebase anything, ever again.  So far so good.

Quite right Sir, quite right.

I don't mind rebasing stuff when it's just stuck with PVA, but the milliput based stuff is a pain. I'm mostly rebasing to standardise rather than to fit a particular ruleset. My Crusades collection is my first and biggest but a was still experimenting with basing when I started it, so I've long been unhappy with how they were done.

I'd rather rebase and reuse than leave units languishing unloved. I hate waste. For some I'm just putting fresh basing material over the bright yellow milliput basing but for most that are wrong sized I'm doing full rebase.

When I need to rebase I tend to trim existing bases to fit a new one - saves some trouble.
