Coastal Kits 1/144 Display Bases

By Matt Bittner

Coastal Kits, out of the United Kingdom, are a relatively new company (and definitely new to the pages of Internet Modeler) that create model display bases. The  type of bases are best described by them:

"All are pre-printed with high quality imaging on a laminated wipeable matt vinyl surface which, unlike paper products, will not raise or bubble, mounted on a durable 3mm foamex base."

The printing and designs are really well done and look great. The following were provided for review:

So if you're looking for a way to display your models, either on your shelves or on the contest tables, then definitely look to Coastal Kits. The bases are extremely well done, sturdy and if wanted, you could also add other items to the base to really make it "pop". As you can see from the photos they really set off your models and really make them look great.

Huge, huge thanks to Coastal Kits for sending the bases to review.
