It still shouldn't be more than a few nights.<br /><br />I agree about the loathing, though. I've only redone a couple of projects from one sort of non-cardboard base to another, and the latest, moving 28mm Vikings from 1" washers to 0.75" washers was a bit traumatic. Getting things off cardboard isn't too bad...<br />Rob Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01705547374834785174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3976591529493102006.post-86028866863911709382013-05-09T05:56:19.798-04:002013-05-09T05:56:19.798-04:00Pennies are about 0.75", which is a washer si...Pennies are about 0.75", which is a washer size I use on a lot of 28s and smaller. I don't think, though, that US pennies are magnetic; they are supposed to be zinc cored. <br /><br />These 40s do need the 1" washers. The integral bases go right to the edges on most of them.Rob Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01705547374834785174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3976591529493102006.post-76412170107953178972013-05-09T04:36:35.783-04:002013-05-09T04:36:35.783-04:00I've always loathed rebasing - I hope it doesn...I've always loathed rebasing - I hope it doesn't take you too long.Conrad Kinchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683395740934527502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3976591529493102006.post-75411465720108296602013-05-09T00:16:33.003-04:002013-05-09T00:16:33.003-04:00Rob,
