Sculpted base designs

Here's another set of bases, made with Apoxy sculpt and green stuff.

More elaborately sculpted bases such as these get really tricky, since it does not take much to create a fantastic base that leaves you nowhere to place a miniature!

The woodland bases are the classic example.  They are probably the most difficult to make interesting, but leave enough of a 'foot[print' for a miniature.  I kept placing various figures on the bases as I was sculpting them, so that they might at least have a chance to fit something on them!

Getting these to rank up in a fantasy unit is yet another challenge...

  1. Those are great bases! I totally get what you mean about overdone bases that don't leave any space for the mini to be glued on.

    Do you sell those bases or they exclusive you keep for your own work?

  3. Thanks for the kind words! These base sets were made for CoolMiniOrNot, so you can find them over there. At some point, I will produce my own, since I can have a lot more control over how they are set up, etc.
