One of the things my Terminators definitely need is an upgrade to their bases. I love the way they've turned out, but nondescript silver discs just aren't cutting it as the floor of a space hulk and it detracts from the overall appearance.

So rather than doing any of the things I'm supposed to be doing, whether that be in life or in hobby, I spent the day sitting on the floor, watching basketball, and fiddling with plastic bits pulled out of the vehicles box. Here is the result of my labor:

Essentially, we have mostly the reverse sides of leftover Land Raider and Rhino doors, plus some cables and movement tray sides. It's fairly straightforward. There is a lot of cutting and snipping. I should probably clean up the edges with some sanding and green stuff, but I'm not that concerned about it. I think hitting it with some black primer will cover a multitude of ills.
Thoughts? Should I continue the project or scrap it and buy some resin bases?
I think it works perfectly. Maybe toss in some greenstuff cables (just roll out a thin sausage of it to lay on the base) to simulate power cables and such running along the decking and you've got a winner.

I like 'em, especially the recycling vibe. Use the whole animal, etc.
