i love the sewer pipe. imagine maybe a familiar or a gretchin hiding in it, that would be pretty funny
Lowering the entrypoint of "How to craft Bases" with every Video of its kind, I love the low effort high impact style though :D
Can we have 4 more epic gaming bases, made without an airbrush?
Thank you for the beach base, it shall be used for my VAMPIRATES (inspired by Dreadfleet of course)!
I am digging the mirror world base.
What kind of plastic sheet is that and where is a good place to find some?
That sewer pipe is awesome. Needs a Skaven to poke his nose out of it with a 'Home Sweet Home' sign.
Exactly what I was thinking haha
Liquid Warpstone!!! Guuut guuut!!!
Tiny rats going in. Rat Ogre on top (on a bigger version)
Toversnol EU that would make an awesome diorama
I think that proves this makes better terrain then a base.
That marble base....I love it. That style of base hadn't even crossed my mind. I'm really new (to the actual hobby ok), to this stuff and I'm DEFINITELY making that style of base for my Indomitus marines.
They're all good, but that marble base is truly unreal. Starting on mine tonight. 100% straight up stealing it.
Very nice for Greek figures as well. Greeks used marble alot back in the olden days.
I love it. Saving that jewelry case from becoming toxic waste in a landfill to make a themed base that you might find at a toxic landfill. It's the circle of life.
The advertiser including a store finder as a part of the ad was clutch. Sold me $120 worth of product because I actually found a retailer in my country for once.
The sculpted sand waves are exactly what I've been trying to do.
We need this as a regular series. Maybe one base per week...start simple.
Ok, the marble base was a total success, the pipe was outstanding, and I'm going to have to check out some of those GamersGrass products. Thanks Scott.
Yesss all the base ideas!!
Great video, you should keep going with these videos as any great mini needs a proper base!
That marble one looks really nice!
Do more skits man, nobody else has that sort of humour in this community like you 👌
40k sells, but we know you hate space marines and love wood elves. So let’s combine them - why not paint a kit bashed, wood elf-inspired monster or chaos spawn?
Or ya know... those pesky space elves but more.... tree flavoured.
@@SooSneeky so woodier exodites?
These base videos are my favourite videos of yours!!!
Loving the split-screen shots.
Been looking for good marble for so long finally!
Your bases videos are your best videos
A Tamiya plastic scriber or similar would also be a good way to create the gaps between those marble tiles.

Scott's wife: SCOTT, please clean your workspace! It's the last time i will tell you!
Scott: I did... All the dirt is dried and ground up
I can’t imagine his girlfriend would be more upset then his wife.
@@tbonbrad oh, my fail xD just edited
Nobody: Not a single soul: Scott: SO TAKE YOUR CIRCLE CUTTER
Absolutly love your content, Scott. Will join the Patreon soon! Love from Germany
Love it! I really needed some method to make a proper marble base for a boss mini so thanks!
I can't imagine Scott's face when he opened that box of sponsored Gamer's Grass. Also, really dig the scratch building in these base videos. Good stuff.
fantastic looking bases.
the marble trick detroyed my mind
Crystalline bases, just as I imagined. Thanks!!
The aluminum tape idea was out of the box Loved it
Damn those overhead lights though 👍
Yes!!! Awesome 🤘🏻 🤯
A nother Miniac video 😊
Tile grout is by far the best thing I've found for sand. It scales better than ground up dirt and the colours are already a good match. It can be further enhanced by mixing in a little pigment powder or ground up chalk pastel.
I really like the marble base, that's a really cool way to get the colour right. That pipe is just asking for a skaven mini. It would also make for a cool tiny diorama, the skaven hiding from something standing on the pipe looking for it.
My fave basing technique is just mixing all the absolute basics. Texture paint, basing gravel, cork sheets. I hate using greenstuff and I've found that bluetack and super glue works pretty well for most situations. I find that using cork sheet alone is too obvious, so its easy enough to slap some texture paint onto it to obscure it. Bonus is that it's still pretty flat so you can easily put your miniatures onto it.
Incredible, truly awesome
Thanks for the video. Making bases is fun. Nice work.
you can tease out a cotton ball out to also stencil simulate marbling instead of using dryer sheets
very nice video, I enjoy watching your stuff so much just because of who you are! and I love listening to people talking about stuff I like 😁
Great work! Making even a simple height or width change on a base adds a lot of 'reality' to the finished piece.
It's always okay to try something new and/or different - the only rule is the rule of cool!
More Scott! This is my favorite thing you do.
I LOVE these base videos!
I love your videos, but your base videos might be my favorite, I love the ideas you have, and they usually get ideas rolling on how to make others based ob your ideas.
Wow, all those bases are amazing! Finally something that is not higher than the mini on top of it.
That moist sound on the last base 👌
Hope you’re all well as we didn’t get to see you this time. Take care and great basing work!
i love the beach one, im def gonna come back to this video for when i start up my Hawaiian shirt themed harlequins army
thats gonna be a while though
Hey while I’m early i figured id comment this so you hopefully see it, but you’re a huge inspiration to me and you and my friend Max are the sole reasons i got into mini painting. I got into it 2 years ago and i feel that I’ve made a ton of progress thanks to your tips and videos. Keep making these great vids :)
I'm happy that you got into the hobby with your friend!
Love this video. Basing is so important. I base everything now, even my6 inch Star Wars figures...
Great video. Love these little experiments. I tried the marble technique with baby wipes and its amazing.
I've been looking for a way to make a marble tile floor out of some Expanded PVC (Foamex) I found dumped in my garden for a diorama, this seems perfect. Thank you.
Using sponges to apply the marble effect also works really well- a good workaround if you don't have an airbrush. :)
Love this video series! Base-iac!
very nice, may need to try this =)
Omg, these are incredible!!!!
That sound effect for the pipe Intro stayed waaaay longer than my ears wanted
It was hilarious, great bases!
When I put it on the timeline and listened to it, I was like "this is wrong" - so clearly I have to keep it in!
@@Miniac also thanks for the heads up on the giveaway
These base videos are always a great inspiration. Have you considered exploring ideas of easily mass produced bases for armys?
I have not, but that's definitely a video idea that I would like exploring!
These are great. I really like your base videos. The beach one is probably my favourite
SEWERS!!!!!!! THANKS, SCOTT!!!!
Great job!
0000 wire wool gives a nice marble effect as well using a similar method
Sweet upload
Wow! Great bases bro
Dang man. You're my favorite painter/YTer. Keep up the great work
fantastic. nice job.
Love these videos and help me to continue to think outside the box. I also love seeing different materials for basing!
Amazing work, love the videos.
You and Jeremy(and maybe Emil) totally need do do an e-book on how to make bases.
for pipes similar to yours I use my old Asthma inhalers. I also use the little metal bottles inside as fuel bottles, oxide bottles etc. They look cool painted up. The inhalers looks quite futuristic too you just have to disguise the makers logo etc
Big fan of your approach to the marble bases and want to give it a go myself! Do you recall what thickness of styrene sheet you used for this example?
Bought my first airbrush for painting mini's recently! Getting into it as a whole has been really easy thanks to yourself
Thank you for the tape idea, I have a ton of that stuff. I was trying to find a base idea for some necrons im doing. That will work well.
Awesome ideas ☺
I use GamersGrass before this! I love their products and used them when basing my Tau units. Their shipping times are pretty slow though, so if you're able to find them locally if you live in America, that is the way to go.
That Beach base is great...
Sadly, my Mini is already on that base, so sculpting will be difficult...
Dangit!
Very cool!
Great work, love the pipe and the goop coming out of it also the beach base will be perfect for a dnd pirate character im playing in our next games.
Love these basing vids so much! Well done. Each of these are so cool.
Gamer Grass FTW!! 🇵🇹💪Great work and inspiration on the bases.
Nurglings wod be super cute in that pipe
Miniac if you mark your circle cutter 1 or 2 mm smaller, then cut your pattern they will have a gap for the tile look. I think that would work anyway
Kinda want to use that alien world base with some tzeentch models like you suggested.
Midwinter minis and Miniac upload on the same day? It must be Christmas
Any good tips to attach a mini where you might have forgetting to leave a good flat point in the build? For example I can foresee that beach one or something with too much sand or gravel can accidentally leave feet to look like that’s a floating in a way.
Scott is Epic Gamer confirmed
I hope someones sees this, but specifically for the styrene marble base, how do you go ahead and stick the mini on it? do you make the base, stick the mini, and then paint everything? or do you paint the mini and the base separately and the stick it on. also what glue should be used in the case of the optimal way to do it? Im new to the hobby and preparing myself for my first army.
I really like those videos ! Always give me inspiration!
For the sewer pipe, a well, pipe can be used as well.
Nice sewer pipe! That'd be a good one for some TMNT minis, which I love being an old action figure guy. Maybe I feel a purchase coming on 😶 Thanks for the video!
I would love to see minis made for these bases because the sewer wont could look awesome with the right miniature.
The blue-mirror-crystal base would be perfect for realm of hysh from AoS
Reminds me of the ball marble used in one of the magazine articles!
Love your basing vids. they really are great for inspiration. Keep it up 👍
Love your base vids
For the 3rd model, you could still paint the base circle gold instead of black. Then it would match the upper riser without much effort?
Hey Scott, great video!
What's the marble base's rectangular aluminum's size? 5mmx1mm?
Best video lately...great job Slim....run out of gloves?
Cool Scott! Gonna see this asap!
hi hi miniac from France, this video is really too cool and very inspiring 😋 , I learned a few more tricks, don't change anything, impatiently waiting for the next video, and as said by me, cool and long life miniac 🤘😉👍
Nice slime
That last base is sooooo TMNT
That Workaholics beat
Dear Scott,
I really enjoyed your video.
Best wishes, Seven.
Dear Seven,
I really enjoyed your comment.
Best wishes, Scott
Do you have a video on a method for removing board game miniatures from their bases? I’d like to do some of these techniques but I only have board game miniatures.
These videos are spectacular my dude. Basing is such a freeing part of the hobby! I’d love to see a similar video but for a larger monster base (*ahem* Prince Vhordrai for your vampire army ;) )
