Kublacon commisioned me to make these trophy bases for the KublaAwards 2006. Thirty bases were made out of Brazilian Jatoba wood, all custom laser-engraved with the category of the winning entry.

Trophy statues were sculpted by CJ Cummings (the ‘Raging Gaijin’), cast in resin by Dave Garton (Armorcast), and assembled and painted by Wayne Rogers.

Joel challenged me to make a “square hole” for a recessed 25mm x 50mm rectangular Rackham base. So I came up with this design, that assembles the base much like a tiny picture frame. As a side benefit, there is no exposed endgrain anywhere.

Joel gained an Honorable Mention for this mini at the KublaAwards in 2006.

The base is made from American Walnut. The base is magnetized for a recessed 25mm x 50mm rectangular cavalry base.

Marike won the Gold KublaAward for Best Fantasy Single, along with the “Best Of Show” KublaSword, for this mini at Kublacon 2006.

The base is made from Brazilian Jatoba wood, and is magnetised for a 30mm surface-mount base. Marike did a great job of using the color of the wood to tie in with her overall paint scheme.

Laz won the Bronze KublaAward for Best Fantasy Single at Kublacon 2006 with this mini. The base was an emergency rush order, as Laz called me up the day before the con! Talk about last minute!

The base is made of Gabon (Black) Ebony, but with attractive striped grain patterns. It is recessed for a 40mm base and magnetized.
