i am going to start putting beholders in my etsy shop . but to do that in a time effective way and keep costs down , i needed to make some base toppers to speed things up , i did a test pour and am SUPER happy with how they turned out !!! PLEASE EXCUSE TO HORRIBLE LIGHTING , IT WAS A RUSHED VIDEO

The bases look great. One question, though: why not either use steel washers (they will work well with magnetized storage trays, which are quite popular amongst gamers), or mold the entire base in resin. It seems like this could reduce your costs, overall. Just a suggestion. Cheers!

in regards to the washers , in this case i didn't want them to be weighted down . because i dont know what type of terrain they will be used on , i wanted them to be as light as possible so they dont damage any particularly delicate terrain pieces they get played on .
as for molding the entire base , doing it this way allows me to use these on varying sized bases . in addition to the 2 inch bases i also got some 3 inch bases . if i need a thicker base or different sizes for a particular figure , these 10 toppers will work for all of them .
as for the cost , i got the laser cut bases from EVERYLITTLEWAR.com , they were cheap , i think i got 275 bases (between 3 sizes ) ? for $40 , which is about $.15 each , and my resin toppers are less than $1 each even WITH the mold costs . so with a price point of $25+ per standard or specialty beholder , the cost is negligible
