"The Basics of Basing" Topic

Often get asked how I do mine, so I made a little video to show folks how easy it is.

Thanks NigelH

Nice little video, given me something to think about anyhow

hey…that was a cool video. Well done. Ben

Good. I picked up on the adding PVA to the base wash, i will be using that – thank you.

Very cool tutorial, thanks.
I don't use bottle tops for painting figures though, I use medicine bottles, take an empty bottle and put your figure onto the cover and then you can hold the bottle in your hand while you paint your figure…works for me :)

Thats a good idea CavCrazy, easier to hold onto the bottle, something else to add to my pile of "useful items" and will drive my wife nuts :)

Thanks for the kind words gents, much appreciated.

Great tutorial!

Many thanks!

Just one question: at what point do you put on varnish? Spraying before basing or after?

I varnish all my figures before I base them, a coat of gloss, followed by a decent matt varnish, and I brush it on, as I have had disasters with spray varnish.
