Hey, dakka!

Got another video for beginners this week, all about basing your miniatures to boost the realism and unification of our armies! Check it out and tell me what you think!

Haha! You knew I would comment!

Loved it. Great intro to basing.

Quick question or two.

What type of camera do you use to vid your series? Also, is that rotating turntable you use home made or is it something you bought somewhere? If you bought it, do you mind sharing where?

Thanks, and I always enjoy your vids.

Of course I did!

I use a Canon t2i (bought it used off ebay 2 years ago or so), and a 50mm f/1.8 lens (bought it off craigslist). To get macro shots with a normal lens, I use lens attachments like this: http://www.amazon.com/PLR-Close-Up-Digital-18-55mm-75-300mm/dp/B007N83VQM/ref=sr_1_1?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1457121424&sr=1-1&keywords=58mm+macro+filter

Here's the lazy susan you asked about: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N0Q2COI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
I would not recommend that lazy susan. It has a terrible wobble if the model isn't dead center. I'm considering returning it and finding one with a more stable base.

Another great video man! I always look forward to your videos each Friday.

Cool, thanks for the info!
