Simple, Easy basing


Recommended Posts

Hey, as this is my first Post (yes this is my first after about a year!) i decided that i would do a how-to on bases as they are a fun little thing to do :P

 

overall it should look something along the lines of this,

Demo base

 

oh and also, i don't use GW paints so it make look different

 

To start of you will need:

-A base

-Leather brown paint(or similar)

-Sand colour paint(or similar)

-PVA Glue

-Dried mixed herbs

-Mortar and pestle(optional)

 

Okay, let's get started :D

 

Step 1

Get your base (bit obvious, but still)

 

Step 2

Take your leather brown (or similar) and base-coat the base

It should look like this _;)_:P_

 

Step 3

Take your sand colour paint (or similar) and, with a small amount on the brush, stipple it onto the base till it looks like this

Light coat

 

Step 4

Now is a good time to add your figure if it isn't on already.

Add glue in small patches around the figure and base

Gluey

 

Time for the secret ingredient 0_0

 

Step 5

Take the dried herbs and crumble them up a bit so that they are finer

(or use a mortar and pestle and grind them down even further, i find this gives better effect),

then sprinkle it on to the glued parts.

Always add more than neccessery to ensure that the patches are covered

 

Step 6

Lightly tap off exess herb and Voila! your Simple, yet nice smelling, base is done :D

Finished figure

 

Here are some other models with the same base style

Other model 1

Other model 2

 

before any complaints come in about quality of pictures, i just want to say that i had to do this with my i-pod because my camera is out of battery :(

 

Anyway, hope this helps :D
