Natural textured bases pt.4

After the painting part its time to fit the figures to their bases. In some cases the mini will stand on the base without any problems, and in other cases I needed to use green stuff to make the pose look more natural. After the green stuff hardens it will be painted, and masked off with static grass. The stream/pond beds are also painted green (in this case Dark Angels Green from GW)

Taking photos of each base with its model is a nice reference for the future. No need to go guessing which figure goes to which base :)


And once the paint was dry and the green stuff was mostly cured, it was time to add the water to my streams and puddles.

I used Envirotex Lite, mixed as instructed in 1:1 ratio, covered the whole work area with a nylon bag, and started carefuly pouring the mix. If some of the mix gets on the lip of the base its fine. it can always be painted over :)
