As opposed to a full blown how to (which essentially is simply put stuff on base, paint, flock - no mystery there) I'm simply going to list the various materials I use in basing my miniatures.
- The bases themselves
- For the bases themselves I either use slottabases (both the 20mm, 25mm and 25x50mm cavalry versions) or variously sized bases from Litko in the US. The bases I order from them are the 1.5mm plywood ones, with the heavy duty magnetic bottoms.
- Nd magnets
- I glue these underneath the slottabases. I get these from Supermagnete.be
- Golden acrylic pumice gel
- These is my current version of the magic basing compound from Pebeo I wrote about earlier. Since then I have however been unable to track this down in my local Brico (it apparently was a one off and not part of the regular catalog), so I've switched to one I can get in a local arts'n'crafts shop (De Banier).
- Ground cover
- For ground cover I use various combinations of:
- Woodlands Scenics blended turf
- Static grass (no idea as to make)
- Woodlands Scenics field grass
- Noch grass tufts
- The occasional stone, twig or acorn supplied in unlimited quantities by my children, who seem to have half a forest available to them at their school, and have no qualms whatsoever transporting most of it back home in their pockets.
