Title: I just want to say...
Post by: d_Guy on 14 September 2017, 10:32:41 PM
...that I just received my new custom cut bases from Minibits/Pendraken and I REALLY like the smell of them! They smell like - I don't know - victory.

Thanks again for the excellent service, Leon!  :-bd :-bd =D> =D>

I'm with you d_Guy on the smell.

To be honest, I only buy the figures as an excuse to buy more bases.

I think if we were to gather all the forum members together there would be cornucopia of "interesting" smells.

Nope, laser cut mdf is way too acrid for me. I suppose it reminds me of timber or mdf cut with blunt blades at work, or people cutting said materials incorrectly. However I love the smell of creosote, tar and silage.

I couldn't agree more - lovely.

I think the secret to enjoying the bases is to take them out of their little plastic bags and allow them to breathe a bit.

Ah, creosote. Splash some on your bare flesh and enjoy  :d

We had a few gallon of the 'cure-all' after the good stuff was deemed not-safe for use or sale. Absolutely hated using it, I did.

Yep, brushing it on a fence in the summer was not fun, as you had to be really covered up and it stained anything it touched.

That used to be my job as a kid - creosote the fence.  I love the smell.  you can still buy it if your a registered user.  You have to have proper outbuildings like barns or stables. Wish I could still get it, much better at doing its job than the so called "environmentally friendly" stuff

Yes our organoleptic preferences are weird! The whole benzene family, although slightly carcinogenic, is  not called "aromatics" for nothing!
