cobblestone bases

[Brummie Thug]

Thanks Brummie Thug,

That's what I thought cutting and drilling. I guess I could give it a try. I'll probabaly make a few of my own with putty just to see which one I like best.

Thanks
Jim

Your welcome mate. The putty works out around £2.50 and most model/railway shops seem to sell it. You can do around 10-12 bases with just a small amount.

I forgot to mention as you have to mix the two together I use about a 1cm of putty of each type then you mix it.

OK,

So before I start spending my hard earned money which flavor of milliput works best.

I use the yellow-grey variant. Don't get it to wet as it tends to disintegrate. If you wet your knife just flick off the excess water that will do the job. You can use it for sculpting pouches and stuff as well but its not that great for fiddly little bits.

Thanks! Off to the store.

FYI: there is a kickstarter running that includes street 'stampers'.

Look too soft for me. Not sharp enough.

Like others, I use fenris bases and textured plasti-card for my bases.

Good luck.

I've just got a hold of the bases4war cobblestone and rivenstone bases. They are lipped bases not toppers and are very well cast in resign.

You Can use an old paintbrush to make a stamp.
Remove the old bristles from the Metal collar, scrape inside to get as much of them out as you Can. Clear about 2 mm inside. A scalpel and sculpting tool worn best.
Use small pliers to shape the collar end like a cobble/ brick.
Squeeze gently one side then the next, squaring them off.
You Can check your shape by eye and by pressing into some resin, bluetack or similar.
To create a cobble surface cover base with green stuff, shape and smooth it, then starting at one side work from top to bottom gently pressing in shape.
Pavement edges and corners Can be sculpted on once dry.
Figures Can then be pinned once dry.
Takes some time but is effective.
Some examples on old glory blog I believe.
Don't no if that helps.
