"while making my TDQ-Figs, I had some trouble covering up those Slotta bases without making them even higher. I was breeding about this problem quite a while until I had an idea.

Necessity is the mother of invention. That is a lot of work. It looks good. Be sure to use paintable caulking, though. Most caulks are silicone, some take paint, some do not. Read the labels carefully, making certain you buy the paintable silicone caulks only. Cheers! |

I use silicone caulk on base worked in and around miniatures feet. Put it in a tray of fine or medium model railroad ballast. Let dry coat with a watered down brown or black. After painting miniature I dry brush and maybe add static grass. |

I'm pretty confident that the author was brooding about the problem, not breeding, but people do have their own ways of solving problems. Great results. |
