WIP The base for Crusader

[Sergey Popovichenko]

Hello!
Now I began to make a base for 90mm figures from Pegaso.
I wanted to do a large base for Crusader, with imitation of saracen castle ruins.
I used a homemade base size 70 * 70 * 70mm
Base faced with stones made ​​of cork mat from the supermarket.

The stand is protected by masking tape. Stones primed with automotive primer from an aerosol container.

A nice start Sergey. Very clever idea. I look forward to seeing the actual crusader

 

[gordy]

Wow! Simple and effective

 

[Sergey Popovichenko]

Thank you.
I continue ...

Fragments of the wall - also from a cork mat. To increase the thickness, I glued it into two layers.
Horizontal surface, I dusted crushed brick and cork with glue.

And, I forgot to write earlier .... The texture of the old stone attached to a stopper with a knife. On a flat surface can be easily separated into small pieces, seeking relief.

 

[Meehan34]

nice start sir. Cork is very effective for basing.

Thanks, guys ...
Crusader has tried to base ...

Stones I painted with acrylic

 

[Meehan34]

whoa. this crusader, I love it. This is one of the first figures I ever painted. I love this guy and do remember the face was hard to get too. I think this is one of the all time classics for figures. Nice choice sir.

Tinted stone oil filters. I used the mars brown, burnt umber, sienna.

 

[ppaneris]

Very nice job on the wall and the base. You have given me ideas about a project of mine. Take a photo of the crusader from behind. I think that the wall is hiding much or the rear.
