Description
Warning!
Extremely long tutorial!
My fourth tutorial explains how I made the bases for Boomer and Spitter -sculptures, in hopes of helping you to create your own. Making a base for your sculpture isn't really all that hard,
you just need to have the right equipment, and know what to do with them.
I use Noch - materials in all my bases, but anything similiar will do. For references sake, I'll list all the materials I used in this tutorial:
From www.Noch.de/en/
Moss, number 08600: [link]
Turf, color 1, number 95230: [link]
Turf, color 2, number 95210: [link]
Moss/Turf Mixture, number 08360: [link]
Fake Sawdust, number 08340: [link]
Fine Sand, number 95611: [link]
Grass, color 1, number 95710: [link]
Grass, color 2, number 95730: [link]

my dad was HUGE on doing miniature scenes of (not historically correct) wars. He always had HUGE bases to put all the little hand painted army model cars, trucks, crates, and people. I remember using this same stuff on a history project of an indian camp site, but I used foam as the base and put the sand, gravel and turf right on top of it. We carved out a dip in it for the river. I don't think we used resin though, it was something he had to cook on the stove and it came in pellets? Brought back some really fond memories, thanks! love the tuts and now i want to do em!

Pellets huh, sounds about right.
I've always wondered how people have the time and dedication to actually do miniature scenes (which are MUCH bigger than what I did). Your dad must have been a very patient man.
