Warbases.co.uk 15mm Landing Pad and Ramp - Built, painted and reviewed.

 The Warbases 15mm Starbase 962 range has some nice bits of kit, including the very versatile Landing Pad and Ramp. I picked up 2 of these in my pre Xmas spend of 2024 and built one pretty quickly after that to see if it would work for 28mm as well. And it does, quite well actually. 

Landing Pad and Ramp

Quite affordable, it sets you back 6.67 GBP and for that you get a platform, 4 legs and a ramp. This also means build time is quick, with most spent on the 4 legs...stilts...supports....you know what I mean. It comes with no pre lasered numbers or markings so anything goes and you can easily paint it up to match your table, scenery collection or even force. I went for a basic weathered grey, yellow trim, a simple code and some wear and tear...negating the rust for a change. KISS was the motto this time so weathering was minimal (for me).

I left the ramp seperate as that helps with storage and I think it is meant that way, but don't quote me on that. If the pictures make you feel it isn't completely straight, trust me, it is. While assembling it I put it all on a glass plate and a bit of weight on top to make sure it set as flat as possible. But my large cutting mat will never ever lay flat, no matter what I do.

Using some 28mm scenic items to show it works fine for 28mm as well. The Buzz Lightyear Fighter makes for a great Point Defence Fighter in 28mm, the weathered blue green scenery in the back of the shot is from Games Workshop, the orange and green canister are Ainsty's 28m  Upright Octagonal Containers and the blocks in front are from a Jenga set with a coating of wall filler and 2 paperclips to turn into cheap barriers. The 28mm drone and the 2 metal barrels on the platform are scratchbuilt.

Using some 15mm scenic items to show it works for the itended sale of 15mm. The Buzz Lightyear Fighter makes for a great (Heavy) Fighter in 15mm. The orange and green canister are Ainsty's 28mm  Upright Octagonal Containers that work great as heavy cargo for 15mm, and the block in front is from a Jenga set with a coating of wall filler and 2 paperclips to turn into a cheap barrier. The 2 metal barrels on the platform are scratchbuilt. The yellow robot is a not AT-AT walker from Germy's 3mm range, sold through Brigademodels.co.uk these days as the Mercenary Heavy Mech GMM-334 with some minor modifications,  the 2 robots on the platform are from Groundzerogames.co.uk, the small one from the SG15-V13 pack with a scratchbuilt cooler added to have my own 15mm Wall-E, and the bigger one is the big humanoid droid from the SG15-V16 pack.

Everything was paid for with my own money, no freebies here. I can really reccomend this, affordable, easy and quick to build and paint and should fit fine into your 15, 20 or 28mm collection.

Oh, and for that one person wondering where I got the ramp code from.....

...the license plate of the car that was parked next to mine on my lastest Hospital visit. Inspiration can be so simple :)
