Basing my Bases

Hi Guys, visitors and followers ask me how I do my basing? Here is my first attempt of a "step by step" basing process. One thing though before I go on, I don't like the idea of using 4-5 layers of prime shading colors and 2-3 dry brushing colors schemes on bases in my opinion its just a waste of time and unnecessary, unless working on Dioramas yeah sure go right ahead and use multicolored shades/tones etc. but not on little bases like DBA! :o) anyway I hope my amateurish article helps.... I prefer to use just 2 colors, one for priming and one for dry brushing the plywood bases.

Buff Fine Ballast.

Acrylic Paints.

Epirot Units/Elements before flocking.

I brush white glue on the bases first, place the stand in a small container/box of Fine Buff Ballast, and perform swirling actions to cover the whole base while the glue is still wet. Putting the stands aside for 24 hours before moving on to the next phase.

I use Acrylic Raw Sienna to paint and cover the whole Buff Ballast bases.

After priming the Fine Ballast bases, I put aside the stands for 2-3 hours or even wait until the next day for the bases to be completely bone dry. mind you, Brown Fine Ballast would be better to use saves time painting the primer/under coat.

 I use Ivory to dry brush over the Raw Sienna

After completing the priming and dry brushing I use Scenic Express Turf Grass

I use tweezers to pick up and position the Turf Grass on the bases. To secure the Turf Grass on the bases I use white glue.
