Animerik Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Well this is mys way of doing bases quick and easy, it took about 1houer to do 35 bases. Material needed: -PVA glue -Super glue -Wood filler -Gravel, sand and small basing slate (urban basing kit) -medium basing slate (urban basing kit) -Cork -Guitar wire -Bits (raid your bit box for cool stuff) -Net (I used a plastic musqito net) -COD basing kit and urban basing kit can help you a long way but it can be replaced with bits. More material can bee added and most of them replaced this is only the list I used. First I took the bases and PVA glued the Urban basing rubbel and Cod basing rubbel (both can be replaced with bits) on the bases. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/animerik/blog/DSC004121.jpg Then I took some wood filler and added some to the base http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/animerik/blog/DSC004281.jpg Then I took a tool and smoothen it out all over the base (do not cover details on the bitz you glued) http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/animerik/blog/DSC004301.jpg Next add some of the different materials by gently pushing them into the filler to make a more "sunken" effect and it makes the bases less clutterd and more realistic. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/animerik/blog/DSC004311.jpg Repeat the process and be warned wood filler can be quite messy. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/animerik/blog/DSC004321.jpg This is my results so far I will continue this tutorial as soon as possible I have to wait for the filler to dry. Hope it will be of some use for someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM_Gilligan Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 This is my results so far I will continue this tutorial as soon as possible I have to wait for the filler to dry. Hope it will be of some use for someone. It's now been a week, I'm sure they are dry, pleeese continue... I'd never thought of wood filler to blend the Resin bits to a base. Great idea.

LunchBox Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Splendid! Also, some may be interested to know that oil-based wood filler doesn't really set up on these, so make sure you use water based. Also, you can use unsanded grout in a premixed tub as a filler...the nice thing is you don't have to add gravel to it when you're done! Nice work, thanks for sharing!

Oacup Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 ...what happened to the pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octavulg Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 After more than a year? I suspect he took them down. Or his photobucket account shut down. It happens. Don't drag up dead threads to ask self-evident questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octavulg Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 He means City of Death bases, and as said before, the thread is almost two years old. Leave it alone and let it die peacefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Or you could PM Animerik, who's still active on the board, and ask him politely to re-upload the images? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonBased Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 He means City of Death bases, and as said before, the thread is almost two years old. Leave it alone and let it die peacefully. Not trying to start any turmoil, but I thought the point of tutorial threads and FAQ threads was so they COULD be looked up at later dates without starting new threads for topics that were already covered. Maybe the OP could host the images here on the B&C? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Nihm Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 If no one PM's Animerik, chances are slim that he'll see this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
