This article is in regards to a mini that I recently painted (90941). I have received much apreciated feedback/questions on her base and decided to write this article. You are going to start out with a plastic base of any size. I prefer the rimmed basses but any type will work fine. I then locate a rock which is glued on one side of the base. When selecting a rock I recomment finding one that will make it easier to paint your light sorce (OSL) .

I like to pour in realistic water at this point. The reson being that it makes for a smoother painting surface but PVA glue will also work. This step does not need to be done just make sure that your base is smooth.

can also be used for swamp bases with waterbubbles. Very inspireing ( try blowing with a small strah into the bubble to make it higher ) ...also nice reflection on the rocks !
