You've made a very good job of hiding the major basing problem with 6mm figures - namely the "ridge" that is cast under them by way of a base. I believe that Grizz has already referred to the "pain" of trying to file this down to a manageable size.

Thanks all. Here’s what I’m using on the bases. Really good stuff in terms of scale of the grit and it’s sculptability.

Busy week, but got a bit of basing done. Decided to go with another thin layer of the Liquitex stucco and paint the grass effects. Have some 1mm static grass on the way which I may use to pick out a few details. Hoping to finish the rest of the BN over the weekend.

They are fantastic, and I am really liking your basing. I may have to copy your technique myself.

Quite lovely. The current range of 6mm are so much nicer than the H&R I used to paint up 20 years ago
