Now that I’m really happy with the painting across the Mr Stomptato, its time to start all the finishing details and touches that make a model “complete”.

As it’s the last messy job, I’m going to get the base done.

For ease, I’m sticking to a tried and tested desert type basing effect.

  • I’ve already glued some pieces of bark onto the base as rocks, and then used PVA Wood glue to add some fine gravel.
  • Next, I painted the whole base in XV-88.
  • Once dry, drybrush with Ushabti Bone and then Pallid Wych Flesh
  • Wash with Seraphim Sepia. I go for an even wash, and then while wet a heavier wash underneath the model to make a deeper shadow effect.
  • Finally, once dry – a lighter drybrush of Pallid Wych Flesh to brighten the edges.
