I didn’t quite know where to start as I have acquired quite a few models in a very short space of time. I decided to start with my favourite Circle model and coincidently the leader.

 

Kromac.(human form)

 

I wanted my circle force to based in a swampy forest, so with this in mind I set about making the base.

 

WIP shot 1

 I select my main piece for the base, and set about modifying it to suit the pose I was going to give Kromac (more on that later)

 For this I used a tree stump from Antenociti's Workshop. Added a little greenstuff, and its done.


WIP shots 2,3,4,5

 I then cut part of the base away, and stuck a bit of the blister pack on the bottom. This will later hold the water in place.




Top shot



I then cut up come pins to make mushrooms with and added a little greenstuff.




WIP shot 6

 Finally I added some fungus to the edge of the tree.




I wanted to do some more WIP shots, showing different stages of painting, but my cameras’ batteries died.

Beautiful mini and one of the best tutorials I have ever seen. Also thanks for showing how you made the base. That is the area that I struggle with the most so it is nice to see a step by step of them.

Aces. Great walk through, and I like the use of the youtube link. True Pro. On a painting related note, when I layer my paints they look uneven (darker in some places ligther in others). I thought I was making them too thin, but if they are thicker I get brushstrokes. What is the middle-ground I am looking for with the paints?
