Touching base
Greetings.
I thought I would follow up a little on the bases and some tricks that can help your models fit better into more textured bases.
Now for the flagstone ones, as they are fairly flat they are basically done at this point. However I was making some bases for my cousin’s force and some of my fomoraic characters which are anything but flat.
This base for example has a nice amount of texture and feature to it, but would make placing a model on it a little tricky depending on the mini, and even make it look a little unrealistic as it would be unlikely their feet would be flat on the surface.
The solution is simples. Give the milliput about 15 mins to make sure it isnt too wet/sticky (longer may be required ), then grab the mini and gently push it into the miliput a little.
This should leave a light impression in the base of the models “footprint” as it were. So now when it dries there will be a perfect space to place the mini and their feet will be flush on the terrain making for a more realistic finish. ?
