Hobby Hacks: Tiled Bases and Freehand Paint

THE SHORT VERSION

Patterned plasticard from model-railway or craft suppliers becomes a tiled floor when cut and glued onto a miniature’s base. Covering only part of the base leaves room for rubble and ground texture, while a full covering suggests a temple or palace. Rhuairidh’s adjoining tip recommends the consistency of White Scar Air for sketching freehand designs before filling their shapes.
