Back to bases

So, the bases from Australia arrived (bought on Ebay).  Have to say that was a prompt delivery.  I’ll definitely recommend them so I’ve added his ebay shop as a link on here.

Like any resin product (such as what you buy from Forgeworld), they should be cleaned before you use them.  So, I took 25 of the bases that will be used for the models I’m working on at the moment.  First I used my file to file away any flash around the edges.  Once done, I took a small bowl of warm soapy water and put the bases in it.  After 2-3 mins, I took an old toothbrush and gave them a quick clean over.  Then, rinse them in a fresh bowl of warm water.  Finally, I’ve put them face/top down onto some kitchen towel to dry.  The next step will be to undercoat them.  My plan is to undercoat them black, then drybrush them in greys upto a light grey for a stone floor effect.  The bottom rim of the base I’ll paint green as thats the colour of most of the game boards I use.
