Some more info on the bases - working on the Mobs part 2 - Mob Bases
Using GSW’s Grey Super Sculpey Medium Blend clay to cover the base while leaving 25mm slots uncovered. Very fiddly and time consuming but the cutters are very handy to remove the excess.
Once I have the clay applied. Using the plain roller, I get the required thickness (again remember – You have to keep an eye on the thickness, too thin and there may be some slight warping. But it is easy to fill and correct) at least 3mm’s as far as I remember.
The use the patterned rollor apply the texture.
Use the cutter again to remove the excess.
Then it’s ready for baking 🙂
Need to sand down the edges of the 25mm mini bases to ensure a better fit. Will do this once they all have been ‘baked’. Baking is fun 😉 😉
Those are some awesome results with the pattern roller, @buggeroff ! I like how some of the stones seem “rounded off” or smoothed off around the edges, just like a real cobblestone street! 😀
Thanks Jim, of course that was intentional…. 😀
hope Gerry and Justin aren’t leading you astray
