Red Sailours on new base
« on: 15 May 2009, 10:50:29 PM »
I was very impressed by the multibases Tom Weiss used for his DA Askaris. I want my RCW stuff on bases like his. The Volunteer Army fought hard in the autumn of 1919, so I will add some puddles and leaves, plus some razor wire when I get a proper looking product. This is my test base


Plus a Brigade White Officer painted as Kornilovski

Superb. I always believe that a good base adds to the 'story' and you have done that magnificently.  The leaves in particular are very evocative.  Where did you get them from?

Thanks!
The leaves are some cruched birch tree seeds (don´t know the english word) that Grimm gave me after cleaning his gutter on his roof. I then gave em a wash of thinned VMC Woodgrain and VMC Transparent Yellow.

I hate moving around loads of single based miniatures. And I like the opportunity to create small dioramas. I don´t think the basing is that much important on the tabletop.

Nice, real nice  :-*

I think that the "Evil Empire" sell photoetched razorblade barbed wires… they are probably pricey though.
A CANADIAN local hobby store with a small selection of historical wargames miniatures (mainly from Warlords). They also have a great selection of paint and hobby accessories from Vallejo, Army painter, AK Interactive, Green Stuff World and more.; https://tistaminis.com/
