Hi everyone, thought I'd share the stuff I'm doing with cork bases, any ideas comments suggestions or ideas welcome!

Those look badass, looks tedious.

Cheers deep strike- not tedious, quite quick to paint. The base in the middle has just been painted, drybrushed and washed. The others I 'picked' bits of cork off and stuck them on the bases with some guitar string and some netting my wife uses for cross stictching. Even when doing that i reckon it's quicker than the usual method of sticking on sand and painting it!

A couple more examples

Looks cool, no need to texture either! I do love black painted on my base edges though!

Yeah, is quite a different look to the traditional bases I'm used to (black edged). Toyed with the idea of putting the cork on top of a normal base and or painting the edges black but not sure it would look right.

Some larger bases....

Here's a 'prototype' of a slightly different cork base. A thinner material used to top a regular slotta base. Feedback/comments appreciated.
