That is a pretty good urban base, you could also add a random piece of junk like a cog or a part from an old ball point pen to further add some character to the urban base. Finding old appliances and opening them up can yield interesting mechanical bits perfect for basing a ruined factory or city base. That melody at the closing of the video...sounds so familiar, something from the Shadow of the Beast soundtrack. Nice touch.
Well today I learned you guys on the right bank of the pond call the "cookie game" soggy biscuits. The best cookies for the cookie game were those big Otis Spunkmeyer cookies we got in the chow hall. Harder to miss. Also, the best thing about the cookie game is there's really no loser. The person in last place gets a free cookie!
I've been doing something like this though half the basing materials are from an old brita water filter, and I've been using super glue instead of PVA, as its much faster and also allows other, larger pieces to be added BUT you need to be extra careful, excessive PVA is one thing it it drops over the rim, but super glue (especially the good cheap stuff) burns on your fingers and get those digits stuck to the base. The last thing you want is your fingers stuck on the rim.
Striking the iron while it's hot, it's a blacksmithing term... Heat the iron till its glowing yellow and strike with a fuller on the anvil. While its hot the metal can be forged into the desired shape.
@@SnakeWorksStudio i do all the steps you did until the Nun Oil spot.. its just not worth buying GW expensive wash when i can make about 50 of those pots out of 1 tube of oil paint. you let it dry the same (over night) and then you can dry brush or whatever you need to do openly. if you wish to seal it you can also, that just requires another day or so of drying.

we can add "stuff" in a mark 2 version. I just wanted to do a basic easy one for people first.
🤣 your vortex mixer impression sounds like the augh snore!
The what?? Is that a Pokémon?
I like this basing technique. Cool👍
You are cooler!
Thats so much work. You couod have glue sand matt varnished clear coat then moved on
Glad you liked it!

What is the cookie game?
@SnakeWorksStudio The US version of soggy biscuits

Nobody wants their fingers superglued to their rim!
Could you maybe do desert bases in the future?
I shall add it to the list!

aha! thank you very much. that does make sense! are you a blacksmith by trade?
@@SnakeWorksStudio haha nah im not a smith... though i do watch a few on TY :)
Would love to try this but all my minis is are already glued to them. The one time I prepped a base beforehand I could never get the model to stick.
You can do it with the mini on!
Instead of expensive nun oil just get oil paint color black and mineral spirits. It does what you did with a couple of drops. Much easier
do you seal it in any way?

Magic sand is my new favourite grit. You can get it free stealing from your children
Magic?
@@SnakeWorksStudioI it's really fine and kinda clumps together. It's weird but works well
You forgot to paint it Goblin Green 😉
We did that one a few weeks ago!
@@SnakeWorksStudio Oh I know. You have so many good videos... it's a crying shame they don't all have thousands of views.
"I wonder what the origin of that phrase is"
Me: [can't tell if serious or just English]
I honestly didn't know!
@@SnakeWorksStudio Forging, my friend lol
Gotta strike while the iron is still hot, because you can't shape cold metal
