Natural textured bases pt.2

After the glue is (almost) completely dry, its time to add more detail. In this case rocks and wood.






Rocks are from WH40k basing kit, and the wood are twigs collected around the house, and trimmed to size

Once the glue is dry, its time to make the added stones and wood look slightly more in place instead of just carelessly being thrown on top. That will be achieved by adding glue to the edges of the objects, and sprinkling fine sand on the glue.





This piece turned out pretty nice :)






Some deeper edges will need a few more layers of glue and sand to fill up the gaps. Just a little patience ...




And it will look a lot better :)






After this stage I prefer to leave everything to thoroughly dry for at least 12 hours.

Natural textured bases pt.1

A friend asked me to make a step-by-step guide to how i make nature based bases, and here it is :)

I start with generic Privateer Press bases, and add some modeling sand (rough grain) to start off the texture





Since i plan on adding water effect to these bases, i left the areas that will hold the water clear of modeling sand, and later on it will be covered with fine grain sand to give texture beyond the flat plastic.

To soften a bit the rough texture of coarse grained modeling sand, add some fine sand on top, and take care not to cover all of the coarse stone.




Rinse and repeat for all bases :)














More will come after the glue is dry :)
