A new Realm of Basing

The other day I finally got a chance to work with some of the other sheets of sculpey that I had pressed with the Green Stuff World Texture rollers.  

I have already done a few articles on these, but this time I have the new Mosaic tile texture!!

Adding cork

That extra bit of cork also means that I can show off a little more texture from the sculpey sheets too... not to mention any figure that also has a wider footprint.

sheets are broken up into smaller pieces

The sheets are broken up into smaller pieces, roughly the shape of the cork.  

From there, I take a clippers to it and snip off some of the overhang.  

An exacto knife can be used to make some broken texture to the edges.

While I love the Celtic texture... I was itching to try the mosaic tile!

While I love the Celtic texture... I was itching to try the mosaic tile! I have my own technique for painting these, but having the texture sheets like these will make multibasing armies a lot easier.


Adding the gravel and sand

The pieces of sculpey are glued in place, and now they are ready for the final stage, which is adding the gravel and sand.


Adding pieces of statuary

If you don't want to have the layer of cork underneath, you can simply make the sculpey sheet thicker. The one on the right is about twice as thick as the sheet I rolled on the left. In addition, adding pieces of statuary is one more wonderful element that can be added to these mosaic style bases.


Securing the sand and gravel to the edges

A bit of elmer's glue will be used to secure the sand and gravel to the edges. I have heavy gravel, light, and sand.


final

A new set of bases complete, and ready for painting!!!! Stay tuned for more on the painting... and then maybe we will put minis on them!!

Hi, First these rolling pins are really awesome ! If I'm not mistaken you use Super Sculpey to make these sheets. But it requires to be baked no ? When did you made the baking ? Before to be broken into smaller pieces ?
