Hi Dakka, I'm currently converting myself up a space marine captain, and I want have a base, that looks like a ruin, but have my captain in 'jumping' pose, does anyone have any tutorials for anything of the sort? Or tips on creating this?

Thanks, Elder.

chop up old sprue material / grind it up to make debris, then PVA glue it to the base. If you want larger blocks of masonry etc for the ruins you might try getting some of the wh40k building kits and then chopping them up.

I have used in my ruin bases, some plaster blocks made by hurst art molds.

Do you have any pictures of said bases?
Thanks for the advise.

If you have problems tying the base together, then it helps (if you weren't planning on using it already) to mix PVA glue and sand to form some of the rubble, i'll add a picture just to give you an idea, but its not really a debris base as it is a muddy wasteland (but i used parts of the bits sprue's, and a small rock to shape the base).

- If that collage isn't inspiring enough then you can check these pages out for inspiration:

They look really and give me a good idea what to do. Are they your own models, if they are well done!
