Any painting tips/ideas? How do you keep your bases clean?

If I where making some sort of display base I'd probably paint it on its own and paint the mini on wires pinned into its feet on the top of an old paint pot or something. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591635/6758605.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591635/6758605.page GMT keeping bases clean?
It gives you easier access to the underside of your models and makes basing. much much easier. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591635/6758635.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591635/6758635.page GMT keeping bases clean?
Either

Paint the mini, then base it.

OR

Paint or add scenic details to the base once the mini is done.

For my jetbikes and drones, I do the former (paint them before attaching to the flight stand base) and for most other minis I do the latter (paint and put scenic details on the base).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591635/6758685.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591635/6758685.page GMT keeping bases clean?
1. Do I just glue where I want the stuff to stick?
2. Does the stuff fall off easily? Don't want to have mange bases and fluffy foam trays.
3. Is it possible to fix if I mess it up?

I will probably paint on base then cover it since I am too lazy to spend so much time with each guardsman/ skeleton/ ghoul/ tanks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591635/6758715.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591635/6758715.page GMT keeping bases clean?

Thanks for the help, I have never messed with that fake grass/rock stuff for my bases so I have a few questions.

1 - Yes
2 - No, if you use enough glue and let it dry.
3 - yes.

Go to youtube, and search for "scenic basing" or "flocking bases" etc.

You should find lot of videos.
Or even google "how to make scenic bases" will return dozens of hits (I just checked).

best of luck and have fun!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591635/6758727.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591635/6758727.page GMT
