I've been messing around with the basing of this piece for quite some time to say the least! I've had a lighter, sandy coloured base, a mid tome brown base and a greyish brown tone base- all covered with a drybrush of white to give the impression of a 'frosty' day.

In the end I settled upon a very dark brwon, highlighted up to a mid brown and then I added the layers of 'white'.

I'm not perfectly happy with it but I think it's the best yet and thus I a\m posting the pic here:

There are many more pics of the vignette and an explanation of what I was trying to achieve on my Just Add Water blog:

Please feel free to investigate :O)

Anyone got an opinion on how successfull/unsuccessfull the basing was on my vignette?

I'd be happy to hear from all comers…..

IŽll say it was successfull. It really gives the impression of a light dusting of snow.
Cheers
