Was testing out a few plastic pieces with texture to get a ship deck looking base. This is nowhere near a final look just wanted to see how it looked. Trying to come up with ways of making it less monochromatic. I have other ship pieces I will be adding to larger bases. Maybe some blood on the floor both alien and human.

get some wires under the floor or poking out - you can use actual red/blue/yellow wires or just plastic tubing painted in those colors.

That's a tough picture to get perspective on, how large are those pieces? Is this for 25mm bases (nids?) and will it cover a base that size?

Anyway I love the texture, I don't think it'll take much work to make them look good. Cables are definitely a good idea, maybe a raised step on one or two of them...

My smallest bases will be 40mm in my nid army. Using warriors as troops. Though I could fit the texture pieces onto smaller bases. I do have some bigger pieces to use on MC bases(ladders and storage containers). This was just to see how these pieces fit together. One is a florescent lighting panel. The sheet is about 2 feet by 4 feet the other is plastic canvas.

Oh that's a good sized piece you have then... well you could make a silicone mold of the texture and then stamp out all of your bases.

Yeah doing a greenstuff stamp would make things go much quicker. I like doing custom bases and giving them a unified theme but making each unique.. My alienids is going to be relatively small to begin. Its all big guys.

Used the same texture to do do some wreckage and mud for my Knights.

Found some of the grating stuff in a smaller square. Looks alot better then the bigger grates. It looks like someone could actually walk over this and not lose a foot.

Here is the bigger one(used in this mock up) next to the smaller one.
