Baseplate accessory Gamers Grass GGB-SPO170 — thermoplastic scale model baseplate, grey/red

Gamers Grass GGB-SPO170 is a thermoplastic scale model baseplate designed as a single grey and red oval part that represents a spaceship corridor. The baseplate provides a stable foundation and a ready-made scenic element for miniature displays, dioramas and terrain building. It is supplied as one 170 mm wide battle-ready base with themed surface details such as rusty metal floors, exposed wiring and scattered broken equipment to fit sci-fi industrial scenes. The material and finish are suitable for additional painting, detailing and integration into larger model compositions.

Advantages

The baseplate arrives pre-finished with hand-applied paint and surface effects, reducing preparation time for display or gaming. Thermoplastic construction offers dimensional stability and ease of handling while remaining compatible with hobby painting and weathering techniques. The oval shape and thematic sculpting provide immediate visual context for science-fiction dioramas and tabletop skirmishes without requiring further scenic sculpting.

Suitable for

• Scale model displays and dioramas depicting sci-fi interiors
• Tabletop miniature games requiring themed baseplates
• Terrain building and scene composition for hobby modelling
• Painting and weathering practice on ready-made scenic elements

Key specifications

• Bottom slots compatible with magnets up to 6 mm diameter and 1 mm thickness (magnets not included)

How to use

Place the baseplate under a compatible miniature to create a finished scenic footprint for display or gameplay. If needed, secure miniatures using adhesive suitable for thermoplastic or by installing small magnets in the bottom slots; ensure magnets are no larger than 6 mm in diameter and 1 mm thick. The painted surface can be further customized with additional washes, drybrushing or weathering powders; test any solvents or primers on an inconspicuous area first to avoid damaging the existing finish.

Usage recommendations

For best results, clean the bottom contact area before gluing and use hobby-grade adhesives formulated for plastics. When adding magnets, file the slot edges lightly for a flush fit and check polarity before final installation. Avoid strong solvents directly on the pre-finished surface; use mild paint thinners and test compatibility beforehand.
