Thanks GROSSMAN! As someone who hates basing figures (we does it but we hateses it, yes precious), this thread title gave me a good chuckle. (I've been known to tell myself, "How can you have any pudding when you haven't based your men?") |

I like to base the figures before I prime and paint them. On my preferred 2" x 1" bases, I base the 1st and 3rd figures, and that gives me plenty of room for the brush. Since I use hand cut basswood, the middle figures are based on very cheap material I don't lose much sleep throwing out when I cndense them. That saves a few steps. |

Yes, they turned out great, I loved painting them. Wish I had gotten the advancing pose instead of the marching. |

No basing-no pudding the work must go on

Like the OFM I prefer to base and terra-form my figures before painting! |
