Dungeon Delving
Back to Bas(e)ics
Quick one today, got all the bases printed off, washed and cured. Have a feeling my print bed may not quite be level as there were some lines across some of the bases, plus they had pulled a bit where they were supported, but a bit of sanding with my rotary tool has smoothed those edges down.
I now have all the minis I have so far mounted on the 3d printed bases.
Ive also decided to add some grit/texture to the bases, which I have 3 reasons for doing:
1) To cover up and printing errors/failures and to cover up and gaps between where ive cut the minis of the previous bases.
2) I want to give the bases the feeling that the dungeon is an old crumbling place, where maybe the walls/ceiling have falled through slightly and the earth has spread across the dungeon floor
3) Because the textured area will be painted in the same way i usually do my bases, if i decide to use some of the minis as part of a fantasy army, then the base will blend in a bit with the models in the army, maybe the character is walking on an overgrown path whilst the army is marching to war.
As all the minis have already been sprayed (or some even painted), I will be brush painting the basecoats on the bases (as these minis have quite fine detail which i dont want to loose by spraying a second coat).
Hi mate, love the project so far. See you haven’t posted for a while so I decided to say some encouraging things like how much I love your ideas and bases to give you a bit of a nudge . 🙂 All the best
Thanks for the comment, had a crap couple of months so not done any hobby in ages, hoping once everything settles down i’ll get the motivation to start doing hobby again 😀
