American Civil War - The Regiment from country roads West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Basic bases
The bases are 40mmx40mm, 4 models per square, 24 in the full regiment.
Like a crisp packe the tube of spackle is 2/3 air.When creating bases I try to do someting different and thematic for each army. With this one I wanted to give spackle bases a go. Partly this was to hide the base the figures have attached to them; and it would be more natural looking than hiding it with static grass.
I found the spackle easy enough to apply, a bit of water helps it manouver and adhere and any bits that touch the mini can be wiped away with a wet paint brush.
I avoided spackling around the feet so it didn’t look like everyone’s feet disappear into the ground.
The next step is to paint the bases brown, then add grit and flock, so another update then.
