Love the effect, some really nice ideas coming together for a great base...looking forward to see who will be mounted on it as well 👌

[@BrushstrokePaintingGuides]

Thank you. The base is going to be for a squad of Raven Guard space marines, which will be the topic for the next video. So stay tuned for that 👍🏻

This looks so very awesome! Need to try this on a base sometime 0.0

When cutting modelling items you don't want catapulting across the room the best method is to cut them inside a large see through plastic bag. The item or part stays within the plastic bag so you don't have to get on all fours looking for pieces especially if they are small delicate parts.

[@BrushstrokePaintingGuides]

Great tip 👍🏻

[@jamesmcclanahan2558]

good tip for sure!!!

[@RuweSaare]

Really interesting video! I enjoyed it a lot. Only one thing, your intro and outro is so loud compared to your VO.

[@BrushstrokePaintingGuides]

Hi
Thanks for watching, you’re absolutely right.
This was one of my earlier videos and I was still very much learning the ropes.
I like to think I’ve improved a lot on my video production since, especially in the sound levels area 👍

[@edwardgregg1768]

Those concrete slab are quite useful

[@BrushstrokePaintingGuides]

They are a really cool product and great for display bases like this, because the break and damage like real concrete so they make it very easy

[@keithbevens42]

Fantastic, looks really effective. Already on Google looking for an English supplier. (Found one) Awesome stuff.

[@BrushstrokePaintingGuides]

Awesome, thanks man. Model railway shops seem to be the best suppliers

Make sure you get the ones which are 4mm thick
There are some smaller ones which are for small railway scale
