base colouring

By charlarino, in X-Wing

So quick question what looks better in your opinion ?

Clear bases or black?

Or indeed any other colours you may have painted them (saw red bases on a thread today)

Black as it creates the impression of negative space around the fighter where clear plastic acts like a prism catching the light.

The question is will a black base make it more difficult to judge movement at a glance.

Black, for the same reasons as above

Inspired by this and the other thread on base color, I'm going to try running black with a white star field effect. Well see how it goes.

Here's the results. The star field is a little dense, but overall I like it.
