    Im a big KOW player and I’m always impressed by how much these bases come together with the simplest of ease. The scenic sealant you use from your range, is it a different formula glue or a varnish and does it have a gloss or matt effect, looks really awesome!

    Luke, this simple yet very useful video shows once again the well of information you have to offer us.

I want to thank you for putting out such extremely informative and entertaining material, and for being such a swell fellow to watch! Also, I am readying to place my 3rd order with your US distributor for more scenic supplies. You rock. love love love!!! 😄

    I learned how to base and seal from Luke and I have never looked back since! I spent years do the glue and tap off the excess method for decades until I found out how to use Iso and PVA to seal the basing material.

    A very useful video Luke 👍
    I did a board a few months ago (only the second one I've ever done) with some base ready and different colours of foam flock and was very pleased with how it turned out. I did find though that the green dye from the foam flock dissolved and ran into other areas when I put on the matt sealant. Is this something that you've found as well, and is there a way round it?

  • @PeninsulaPaintingProjects
    @PeninsulaPaintingProjects Рік тому +1

    I totally agree of this concept whenever I base my miniatures I will try and build up the base. I wanted to look as if they are standing on a battleground not just a flat base with a bit of texture on it

    Great video....I love the results of the different types of terrain.
    What I think would be a great video is showing how you achieve the same effects on a base with figures e.g. a 6cm x 4.5cm base with 6 28mm figures on it. How do you blend in the figures bases? How do you prevent getting grit, flock and static grass stuck on the figures???
    I would really really love to see that.
    Keep up the great work and videos 😀

    @TiberiusWallace Рік тому

    On the first tip, even if you don't seal in the pile you don't tap off, leave it there until the glue dries.
    Try as you will you'll always have more glue on the surface than is required so the extra material on the surface will suck some glue up. This means it'll cure faster but it also means the top surface is sharper. What happens if you tap it off is the material is sitting on glue and sinks into the glue and the glue goes over it so it gets softer in texture when it comes to paint it.

    The previous sealant nozzles were fantastic and I don’t know what’s different now but I get a wet mud look when sealing my terrain. I’m not using the sealant spray differently but I’m going to look for alternatives as I do not like what it is now. Fantastic base ready range that I’ll keep getting but the sealant spray is now unusable for me.
