Just found your channel and I'm coming back to ww2 wargaming the last time I modelled was in the 80s so your guides are excellent Thank you
Oh wow! Firstly, welcome back 🙏 Secondly, I'm chuffed you find my videos useful it really means a lot 😀
A cheap & easy basing paste is by mixing sand, PVA glue water & a pigment powder. The nice thing is you can control the colour & viscosity of the paste. Add some gloss medium & you have fresh mud or mud splatters on tanks.
Thanks for the tips! I'll give this a crack, perhaps a new basing tutorial on keeping the costs down?
Superb basing and painting, inspiring work!😍😍👍👍
Thanks a lot Phil 😁😁
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have a lot of basing to do for two upcoming projects and I will use your techniques.
Glad it was helpful! Be sure to show us your work once you've given it a crack 👏
One further hint, if you drybrush the tufts with a lighter color, it makes it a lot more 3-dimensional.
Also you can push in the rocks to the still wet basing paste to make them blend in a bit more.
Ah yes, that is a trick I use all the time too. I should've mentioned that 😆
Wasn't sure I saw u did not use any static grass on the thumbnail, They look good without it.
Doing mostly 15 mm last year and coincidentally since last week on a infantry project decided to use less tufts on my bases and let the grass do its magic, I make my own static grass mixes with length and color variations, never dull to me but also not too busy.
Static grass is awesome but I find you have to use a static grass applicator to make it look great, this takes a little extra time. Just waking some tufts and rocks takes no time at all 😋 I'd love to see your bases though, be sure to share them on my socials 😎😎
@@paintingpanzers An applicator would be a overkill for my 15mm 😆I can see it working better for 28mm and up, you also use bigger bases for your single figures that I used for my 28mm Nappies.
There is also an economical element for me, tufts ain't cheap (for me).
YT is the only social media I use now a day (got fed up from their scummy practices). I'd love to share some pics even if my bases are not that special 😄 and still work in progress, soviet list = hordes of infantry.
This was excellent and very inspiring. Thank you very much
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the lovely words 😀 😊
One of the best most informative videos I have watched, Chapeau to you sir 👌
Thank you so much mate, I really appreciate the kind words 🙏
Nicley done. When I do the basing I choose different base colours for the different armies. i.e. for WW2 the allies got one base colour, the axis powers another. But that's for gaming purposes. Does it make a difference? Maybe... I like to think "yes, it does". 😉
Haha well I like that idea and I'd sat it would definitely make a difference 😉
Excellent tutorial and advice
Thank you buddy 😁
My basing looks like a well-kept lawn compared to yours as I use static grass & the odd tuft to break up the monotony. Your basin Looks great, but would be a too expensive option for me due to the exchange rate & the sheer amount of figures I need to base.
Oh I get that, for sure. It's not the cheapest method but all the stuff shown in the video will be enough for a big army 😉
Nice work looks beautiful, but I would be inclined to glue down the tufts as the sticky on them is liable to fail when handled by wargamers sweaty paws in my experience & the rocks could similarly get nocked off
Thanks a lot champ! They're glued down, I thought I mentioned it in the video. I use PVA glue 😉
@@paintingpanzers I might have missed that I was & am in running about in ever decreasing circles mode & the postie called mid video as well
@evilgingerminiatures5820 haha its all good mate. Happens to us all 😆🤭
