An easy and subtle paint job needs an easy and subtle basing scheme. I have boxes of pre-mixed basing materials in the modelling cupboard.

That’s okay but I’d like to step up the contrast with the model a bit. I went and found my pot of Nuln Oil and gave the basing material a good heavy wash with that. Now we have this:

Not much difference in the photo but it looks noticeably darker IRL. That’ll do. I’ve got some dark grass tufts that I’ll put on once they are varnished.
