In this era of ever spiraling prices I like to see some good old fashioned ingenuity in our hobby.

Long story short: coconuts + hammer = a massive savings compared to the pricy basing kits out there in the marketplace. Here’s the full story in the BoLS Lounge, and some pretty pictures to tide you over.

So lets go over this for the class.

1) You buy the coconut

2) You eat the coconut (because its food)

3) You drink the coconut juice (or use it for emergency transfusions – no joke)

4) You hit the remnants with a hammer and save yourself $15 per tub of basing debris.

5) BONUS: Coconuts are super good for you!!!

I’m going to the grocery store right now.
