My question is -- I'd like to get a MUD base and then each time we have new sets of parts, we can have inserts milled to fit that base. Cost wise, though, I am not sure if I should be looking for someone to lay it out so that the whole set is on one sprue/runner/gate system -- i.e the 10" x 6" area I mentioned before -- or if we have two inserts at 5" x 6" instead? Is it cheaper to go smaller -- or does it matter?
Thanks -- sorry, I'm a complete newbie at this stuff!
Thanks!
