Any tutorials on your basing technique? |

@greenknight4 It's very simple, just three layers – sand, static grass, tufts. The sand is just sand, applied with PVA, then a second layer of patches to cover any thin/missed spots, then watered down PVA soaked over it all so it dries rock hard. It's not painted. The static grass is done in patches which covers most of the sand (with some spots of bare sand left visible), applied with PVA. It's 'steppe grass' from Army Painter. And then the tufts, stuck on with superglue, the more the better to be honest. There are three sorts, all from Gamer's Grass – 'dry green', 'dry' and 'autumn'. |
