Hobby Hangout: Basing Inspiration
June 2025·pp. 12–15
THE SHORT VERSION
Dan argues that a base should establish where a miniature belongs and suggest an event beyond its pose. Six worked environments use spare terrain, cork, sprue, coffee stirrers, slate and modelling putty to turn ordinary bases into small scenes. An accompanying reader question explains Kieran’s softly glazed and weathered Knight-Errant armour, showing how subdued colours and streaks can support a convincing setting.
