🕑 Added 2022-07-16 17:10:43 +0000 UTCApologies it's slightly later than expected, I had some technical difficulties. Hopefully there's some useful tips here for a couple of different methods to create rocky basing for your display or table top miniatures. Let me know what you think!

Royal Sovereign - I recommend size 0 for most work.
Soft/firm white/grey for Milliput
Extra firm/Black for Greenstuff

Hey Dave, great video. I have a question about the plinths. Do you paint them in any way, like primer, or leave them as they come?

Super useful. I've already made a bunch of pieces ready for basing. Just thin pieces, going to try some chunky ones tonight.

I think the rotary tool is very useful for adding the texture as milliput becomes very difficult to work with once dry. You can also sculpt in any details/texture as its drying but yes for this method the rotary tool is pretty much essential. Thanks for the feedback as ever Tim!

Thank you Matthew!

Always super helpful content. I can see myself using this for both basing and terrain pieces where I want to add some character and detail. The surface texture on the rock looks like it would be hard to achieve with just a knife. To get the same amount of variation in the surface is the rotary tool pretty much essential?
Matthew
Great vid again Dave
Ramon Oliver Sanchez

Love the video never thought about using a rotary tool to create texture.
Clarkey
Great video as always. The first part’s a bit like making a puff pastry!

Fantastic! Will use these methods for display pieces. Can I ask what tufts you are using? They always look bloody excellent on your bases.
