This is a piece of heavy cardstock printed with a section of concrete taxiway, some tarmac, and a grass side area with a drain gutter. The base measures 8.5x12, and the concrete section is large enough to accommodate my largest 1/72 combat jets (an F-106 or an A-6) comfortably. The printing is well-detailed, showing some weathering, and good colors. The base might not look as convincing as a custom-made one in person, but it is perfectly acceptable for photography. Plus, it's much, much cheaper than most prefabricated or custom-made bases.
