The Test Base

January 12, 2021

volcanic island and clear glass/crystal shards

the same but different angle

I finally did a thing!

I decided I really liked the Iceland Diamond Beach images I saw. The chunks of ice just struck me as a cool thing and i’d never seen it before

I bought some of the volcanic island base ready from geek gaming and they also happened to have white glass / crystal shards which I couldn’t find before lockdown in my local general stores, garden centres and hobbyish shops.

I think the colour comes from coal or coke or something similar, not sure. if I had some I could put in a grinder I would definitely try and replicate it.

I now need to decide whether I base paint white to keep the bright under colour of the ‘ice’ to make it look like there is some reflective light or accept a duller look. I will do a second base with a white undercoat and see what occurs.
