Just look at the base because it doesn't come with it in the box (ofcourse) but how can i make one like that??]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336445/2273965.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336445/2273965.page GMT The bases can be made out of modelling samd drybrushed with a few highlights or some flock other than that I'm not sure]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336445/2274175.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336445/2274175.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336445/2274687.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336445/2274687.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336445/2277771.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336445/2277771.page GMT
In which case I'd say a thin piece of wood! Cardboard warps quite a lot (even the really thick stuff) so I wouldn't advise using that.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336445/2278125.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336445/2278125.page GMT MDF is great for the physical base. It can be cut and sanded pretty easily (it's like the delightful bastard child of plywood and cardboard) into shape and is pretty stiff and resilient, even in thicknesses down to 1/8" (although thicker is always stronger, so big pieces would be better off with 1/4" MDF with tapered edges). After that, as people have said, plaster or glue covered in sand, gravel, kitty litter, cornmeal, and/or model RR ballast makes your broken ground and ground up sprue and bits, whether broken from GW kits, sourced elsewhere, or scratchbuilt make up the rest of the rubble.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336445/2278846.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336445/2278846.page GMT MDF : thx all]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336445/2435373.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336445/2435373.page GMT MDF with tapered edges. The 1/8 might look better, but it runs a serious risk of warping from the moisture in the glue used to hold down all the sand and debris. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336445/2435393.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336445/2435393.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336445/2438941.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336445/2438941.page GMT http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/tapered

Usually achieved by cutting, grinding or filing the corners off whatever it is you want to taper In the case of a scenic base the aim would be to help it fit into the board without having too much of a step.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336445/2440694.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336445/2440694.page GMT MDF, which is pressed wood. I would think that sanding it would be quite a bit of work, but maybe it is softer / easier than I am remembering.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336445/2440860.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336445/2440860.page GMT
