New 75mm Base WIP for Insect Man

[Frank-Holger]

So, this is my scratch 75mm Base for my sculpted Insect man, who is nearly finished (although painting). This Base is made on an EMI Wood/Metalbase which I turned into something more sophisticated. I have add plastic parts and a lot of foliage. I will add a few more Photoetch plants and paint the whole thing in some natural colours, except for the industrial parts. They will be painted rotten and dirty.

Frank,

This is very creative. I like the diversity of the parts you have used. Looks like a random collection of materials - realistic.

Tell me, what is the bottom of the base made from?

Nice work -

Kyle, this is an old EMI Base. It is made of two Wood Parts and a round metal tube, engraved.

Upon this I have put a piece of Balsa Foam and the detailing could begin (done with several parts from the sparebox, flocking material, roots and some Metalparts.

Frank, That's one interesting base. What is it? I thought it might be a doorknob.~Gary

Gary! This is an old EMI Base, from two part wood and one part metal. I have bought these some years ago but they arrive totally broken (the metall part inbetween was glued to the both wood parts, and that didn´t bond). So I put them aside and "reanimated" them for my two small Baseprojects.

Conclusion: Throw NOTHING away, sometimes you can use it!
