“Faces and bases” said Lloyd this weekend. As if that’s what you needed for a nice mini.
Well, in recent months I’ve got over my fear of painting eyes and actually look forward to painting faces (I tend to do them first now, instead of leave them ’til the end, then end up paralysed with the fear of messing up the paint job to date).
But bases? Surely plain black disks suffice, if the rest of the mini is good enough? I can’t be arsed with all that gluing and sand and then sticking it all back on when it falls off mid-drybrush – plain black disks for me! Then I found some bases on thingiverse and learned how to slice my own shapes from them in Blender, and had a go at some base “toppers” this weekend to see how they’d look. Obviously it’d be far quicker and easier than “traditional” basing.
They’re not even primed yet, but I’m beginning to think @lloyd may have had a point. They look awesome already!
