Painting historical minis with janus1004
Victrix Numidian light horse - prepping and basing using custom movement trays
So this is the start of my most recent addition to my ancients armies, six Numidian light horse from Victrix. Picture one and two show that I will be painting the riders separate from the horses. As always the figures are well detailed and with minor mould lines to be removed. The movement tray is further described in my 3D printing project, as it was drawn by myself in TinkerCAD and printed on my Prusa i3 mk3.
I thought I would describe how I make my bases, as I use more or less the same approach for both the movement trays and the figure bases. The third picture shows the larger rocks added to the tray using super glue. Then I coat the full surface in PVA and add my second scatter, some cleaned dirt from the garden 🙂 The fourth picture shows this step halfway through. Overall, this gives I think a realistic base for me to start the next step, airbrushing…
