Can't See the Woods (Part One)

 No really, these are tree bases, but there are no trees. War is  hell for the arboreal world as well apparently.

In my last post I mentioned I would be working on these mdf bases I picked up on Etsy, and "Winterising" them so they'll match my Winter gaming set-up.

Assembly was very simple - they came in two main pieces that were very simple to match up and wood glue together. The hole cut-outs had the round wooden discs included so I stuck them aside in my hobby drawer as one never knows when one might need something like that.

White glue was applied liberally  all over then sand from a local beach to give a nice texture. Sprayed brown once dry, dry brushed with a couple successfully lighter brown highlights and then I sat and pondered if I should add a bit of grass here and there. I decided "no", the trees in such a cold area sucked up any food that weeds or grass might have required so nothing else is able to grow on these things!

Snow about the edges is a mix of white glue and Woodland Scenics Snow Flock applied in two layers to give more depth and now they are sat ready for a quick spray of matt varnish to set everything. 

Pikachu presides over this parade of bases. I'll be  kicking the little yellow rat back into his Pokeball in good time, he eats all my cheese.

Now tell me this wasn't an exciting post!? 

I get it, "more minis, less.... non-minis Dai - yawn". 

Can't promise my next post will show off any painted miniatures as I have lots more terrain stuff to get on with. But I'll try. 

Stay safe out there - Dai
