Cheers Joe


I've now added some layers to one end to define the surface [ATTACH]115835.IPB[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH]115836.IPB[/ATTACH]

same proccess as before and I think I will add some of this to the middle of the base to give it the impression of track marks

[Alan 45]

I've now added the sections too give definitions and depressions [ATTACH]115865.IPB[/ATTACH]

next up is to cover the base with what you want , I've used a cheep no nails type glue from poundland as it doesn't crack like filler can [ATTACH]115866.IPB[/ATTACH]

don't worry about any edges as th surface you put over this once dry will soften those and if it doesn't you can stick small stones

[Alan 45]

Now the glue is almost dry you can add your top surface , I've used crushed kitty litter but you can use fine sand,baking powder or anything else that will give a powdery surface


Just use a cover of watered down pva all over the base and sprinkle it on , any misses and you can either do a bit of detail by adding rocks or desert scrub [ATTACH]115894.IPB[/ATTACH]

as you can see while it's still wet you can press your tracks into the surface for. Bit of realism

[Alan 45]

And now it's relatively dry you place the base on top of the frame [ATTACH]115935.IPB[/ATTACH]

the frame edge can now be painted if you wish , tomorrow you can add you model and figures

The cost of this base is £3 , that's the cost of the picture frame and the pizza to get the styrophome , the kitty litter will cost about 1/60 but for that you could make a thousand bases so its negligible

Well I'm calling this done ( well unless I get some Devine inspiration while I'm asleep ) [ATTACH]115955.IPB[/ATTACH]
