This is related to a subject raised on the forum (which I've failed to gain access to) so hope this can be relayed/copied.
I use clear bases for my pulp figures. They are discs (~.040" thick) punched/cut out of a file folder made from a soft plastic.
Issues raised on forum:
Shine - the plastic stock is embossed with a slight texture, so appears flat.
Small glue surface of figure - I drill/insert a small (.032") brass pin into one of the fig's feet to combat the poor sheer strength of the super glue used to attach.
