The figures were now removed from their temporary pieces of card, so that the textured base could be applied. This was given a coating of Tetrion filler of a creamy consistency, and immediately immersed into a container of coarse sand. The sand was pushed into the Tetrion with a cocktail stick, and left to dry.
The dried base was given a quick brush to remove any excess sand particles, before giving the whole base a coating of Humbrol Matt Dark Earth.
This was given a drybrushing of Plaka Yellow Ochre, and then static grass was added.
The visible base was then drybrushed with white; the static grass was drybrushed with Plaka Yellow Ochre.
To complete the figures, the black slottabases were given a coat of Humbrol Matt Black.
