I'm a huge fan of The Dip Technique. I used it for many years, on my Army Men figures, for my games. Still like the results, but after several years, even the might urethane begins to flake off. Decided it wasn't worth the effort.
I use sand, exclusively, for my bases. Need to post some photo's of how I do it, as it is a two-step process, using brownish-red sand, in a mottled pattern, first; I follow this, when it is dry, with a mixture of 2-3 green shades, mixed together. The random, mottled patterns, look acceptable whether the figures are sitting atop a building, a paved roadway, , or a grassland.
Even though my figures are no longer painted, the mottled, grassy bases, go a long way towards dressing up the figures. The bases keep them all standing, properly, and they make it much easier to move the figures on the table. Thanks, Thor. I've been inspired, and and a fan of your Army Men work, for many a year -- since the late 1990's… Cheers!
