Operation: Replicate bases Part one

July 16, 2019

I have been using Micro Art Studios bases for my Black Legion, but as I was running low on 40mm ones, I thought I would try and make something with the hundreds of standard bases I have laying about! It should save me a great deal If I can get it right!

what I'm aiming for

Part one:

I needed something to act as the concrete in my base, to form the centre piece of my bases. For that I ordered in some cork sheets, never worked with it before, but was very simple. Cut shapes out, glue to base! Simples!

I then added some sand, as course as I had to the base to give some texture;

Part two:

next I thought I needed to give the base some volume, and bulk, something to blend the concrete in to the actual base.

For this I found some simple filler in the garage and began to plaster some on the the base in various areas.

Part three:

After drying, I added more sand all over the filler, to get some more texture, and rubble.

I wanted to add some extra spot debris like cables, or helmets. For this I used fuse wiring and various bits from my bits box and super glued them in place.

Part four:

Finally once dry I had to add some paint! I stuck with my usual base painting scheme (Can be found at the start of this project) I think I am pretty happy with the results. I think they will tie in with the rest of the force quite well
