Skaven Painting Challenge
First Steps - The Base
I made enough of my paint, sand and plaster mix, so that I could make the ruins I planned on the base. I used some ‘sprue’ from MDF terrain kits that look like arches, plus flint stones and coffee stirrers cut into squares as slabs. I made some marks on the base to keep the debris out of for the wheels to sit neatly down later.
Using the PVA and paint mix means that it is less likely to chip and if it does flake it’s less likely to leave any nasty white marks from any knocks later on. (Thank you Gerry for that tip)
The actual edges of the base, where people will see the basing efforts, is not that big of an area. The wheels obstruct the view of anything done underneath so don’t need to focus too much attention under there. I will add some winter grass, maybe some discarded weapons, or something else of interest at the edges to try and gain some marks once it’s up for judgement.
