I would still recommend painting the edges of the laser-cut plants in their base colour. They stand out a lot, even though the plants themselves are stunning.

@MaxM948 5 месяцев назад

Looks awesome ! Eactly what I was looking for in base design, swampy-wet but natural and not completely floating wet or too nurgle-swampy. I was wondering if you will also post tips how to fix miniatures on such high-detail bases at some point (or I have overlooked such a video), since especially when using magnetized bases my miniatures pop off their base from time to time if not glued directly on the plastic of the base with plastic glue.

@GamersGrass 5 месяцев назад

Hello Max! Thank you for your comment! We actually never show in our videos the step of gluing the miniature but that's a very nice suggestion for the upcoming tutorials. But if it helps you we normally just glue them on top of the tufts to be more realistic or you can glue your mini before adding all the tufts and plants. For that we use super glue (Cyanoacrylate) and if you still think it's necessary you can drill a small pin in your miniature's feet through your base :)

I don’t like wall putty or any light colored texture paste, as I game with my models heavily. If the paint rubs off, the white shows through very obviously. If you use dark texture paste, it’s less prominent if there are rub throughs. I really enjoy these videos. There are many basing tutorials on RU-vid, but these are the best! 🔥

@GamersGrass 5 месяцев назад

Hello! Thank you for your comment! That's a very nice suggestion. We'll definitely look that up! :)

@michaelf.7339 5 месяцев назад

Great video, I would have stopped before the lasercut plants though, they really look like paper and break the immersion for me. Better add a few tufts with colored flowers on top.

@GamersGrass 5 месяцев назад

Would also work pretty well! For example the darker "Blue Flowers" would look good here :)

@OlafThorsson3 4 месяца назад

Just got some dark moss and I love it! I was just wondering if spraying some varnish to reduce some of the sheen would be recommended?

@GamersGrass 4 месяца назад

Hi! thank you so much for your comment and feedback :) If you use a thin varnish it should be fine, it's a question of adjusting the thickness because they are low height tufts, so a denser varnish could solidify and lower the effect of the tiny grass tips. We hope this helps!

@OlafThorsson3 4 месяца назад

@GamersGrass Thank you so much for your quick reply. I wish to clarify again that I love the moss and I definitely want to use Gamers Grass from now on! It is not a serious concern and I was just curious, should I do wishbone varnish I shall keep this in mind. Thanks for an amazing product and your help!

Any plans to make a full winter themed base? Tufts and other materials that work in combination. The Battle Ready bases seem more like a winter-spring combo not full snowy scene.

What are the music tracks used through the video? RU-vid is only "recommending" the one from the title slate/s but the music through this video was terrific, along with the quality basing.

Did you use just normal Miliput by itself or thinned it down with some magic or something? New to more awesome bases :D

@GamersGrass 2 месяца назад

Hi! Thank you for reaching out! We just used normal wall putty (wall repair paste), no water, but if the paste is too dry you can add a bit of water to help you :)

@lucahappel 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the quick answer! Will try that and compare it to miliput and see what works better for me :)

@Eldrig1201 5 месяцев назад

Do you any specific advice regarding actually attaching the models to such bases? Would normal super glue be sufficient are there any additional steps required to make sure they are securly attached?

@GamersGrass 5 месяцев назад

Hello! Thanks for reaching out! When gluing the models after making the bases, we suggest using super glue. Normally it is sufficient, but this really depends on the model weight (and central point of mass) and the amount of gluing surface area you are dealing with. For example for difficult poses and heavy miniatures sometimes we like to drill a pin into the miniatures foot (or gluing surface) and the base, and gluing the pins with super glue. Also, don't be afraid to smash the tufts underneath the foot of the miniatures as well :). We like to imagine the models walking and trampling over the grass. We hope this helps! Happy Hobbying!

@jostonpowell1346 5 месяцев назад

Any chances of a video on making trench bases ?

@GamersGrass 5 месяцев назад

Hello Joston! Thank you for your comment! We actually have an easy Basing Guide called Forest Trenches in our channel (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BT5SmuXNN7I.html). Hope you like it :)

@SoRa228 5 месяцев назад

do you have to treat the branches in any way before using them? i heard that you need to bake them in an oven first?

@GamersGrass 5 месяцев назад

Hello! Thank you for reaching out! The branches must be dry (dead) before use. We recommend that you gather older dry branches that are already lying in the outside. We also like to clean them first, using a scrub brush, to remove any dirt and dust from their surface and crevices (this usually brings out more details in the branches) We hope this helps! Happy Hobbying!

@LittleTemplar98 5 месяцев назад

So step 1 : Make a pretty forest base. Step 2 : Cover all previous work with at least 50 tufts per base ! :D I'm only half kidding here, but it won't change that it's a great video with good looking bases at the end. Great work ^^

@GamersGrass 5 месяцев назад

Hi! Yes, indeed! But at least you know your work is there ;) Obviously you can add less tufts if you want more ground to show. We love it both ways :D

@DaveVersteeg 5 месяцев назад

they are beautiful..well done. It gave me a lot of inspiration. But what figures are you going to use for them ?

@GamersGrass 5 месяцев назад

Thanks! Generally speaking the theme works well with 28-32mm scale miniatures. Thematically, you can think about any kind of figures that in your created narrative could explore this kind of landscape :)
