paints the prototypes for the Eureka Amazon Army.
And then it's time to make a base (from 0.080" (2mm) plasticard) and assemble the chariot, horses and people, and then we begin to get an idea of what the finished model will be like.
After Dipping comes basing. I do all my basing the same way, to create a unified look. First of all, I glue on a mixture of sand and fine grit in little patches.
I paint the whole base with Vallejo Green Brown, and drybrush the grit with Bleached Bone.
After that, I glue on two layers of Woodland Scenics Green Blend turf (one layer seems rather thin and patchy), and add some Silflor 'tufts'. And Hey Presto - finished!
I hope this was informative. I don't mind whether you like the result or not, nor do I mind whether anyone else uses it. I do quite like it, and I've managed to paint more figures in less than a year than in the previous five put together. They look even better 'en masse' on the tabletop than they do individually.
I have a webpage with a blog, where I discuss my take on the hobby, and show off progress.
