    Seems like good stuff but I wish the demo video showed using it wet. Maybe to do rust streaks or something.

  • @GamersGrass

    Attention!: GAMERSGRASS Basing Bits are made of Thermoplastic which is non-toxic, unlike resin. For the sanding steps it's always advisable to wear a mask, as you would with any kind of material :)

  • @mrchoochoohead9033
    @mrchoochoohead9033 3 дні тому

    You should be giving people a safety warning about sanding down resin. Resin dust is no joke and you should be wearing a respirator and have a means of expelling the dust outside. If I need to sand it I do it either outside while wearing a mask or with wet sanding paper in a bowl of water

    • @ArchangelTyrael
      @ArchangelTyrael 29 днів тому

      @GamersGrass Thanks! But not the same ones? Sometimes, tournaments/stores where you can play only allow GW bases. I got some 40mm bases before at another store, sometimes the underside is slightly smaller or bigger and the hight of the base can be different too. Not sure how that is for these ones.

    • @GamersGrass
      @GamersGrass 24 дні тому

      Hi! Thank you for commenting! They are not gw bases, but the size is the same. The best way to see if they are compatible for what you are aiming for is to check our website, you can see the photos of them, including their underside and shape.

      Hello! Thank you for reaching out! We used some pastes and overall they all work fine, in terms of brands we can suggest AMMObyMigJimenez, Vallejo or AK Interactive. What we also like to do and can be a simple work-around solution, is to use standard Putty Wall Repair Paste mixed with sand or rock dust (that you can find outside in nature) and PVA glue to thin down the thickness. We hope his helps :)

    @revylokesh1783 Місяць тому

    Those bases look absolutely fantastic and I'm sure I'm gonna steal thise colour scheme in some form or other,but my only gripe is that with such bases, pinning the model is a must. And that is impractical if you have to do it for anything that goes on 25-32mm bases. So I will try and figure out how to "declutter" the theme a bit for smaller bases and how to "work around" an already glued-on miniature. The colours are lovely, though!

    • @GamersGrass
      @GamersGrass Місяць тому

      Hi! Thank you for your comment! There are many ways to glue the models, you can use super glue directly on the tufts, and also pins to strengthen. Or, some cases, we can also suggest to glue the models (or pin them) before making the base, this will depend on the miniature in question. The idea here is also to adapt the recipe using the same techniques when necessary. For example you can also paint the primer with a brush if need be :)
