ok, I\'m making a display base for my missionary (pics on the WIP forum) and I am a bit curious what you guys thin is the best displaybase colour. I am making it on my wood work lessons in school :p

I look forward for replies :)

Yeah.. black or dark brown definately for this kind of 40k entry. Make it small so it doesn\'t overpower the mini. :)

What competition are you entering btw?

Just popped over to the WiP to have a look - very nice result there mate . I would recommend something dark like mahogony. The mini itself is quite dark and gritty (in a very good way) and this would help keep that feel. Anything too light would detract from the overall look rather than compliment it.

okay, I have made it about five cm in diameter. I am entering YoungBloods in the fang in april :p
will you enter aswell avelorn? you know there is quite some competion there, there is a demonwinner that comes there and from what I have heard he wins the \'over-all\' price every year :) maby you could rob him that joy lol

really dark brown you say? like tree colored but with some tree oil on it? or would you suggest that I paint it?

I also plan to glue some red cloth under the base :) so it wont scratch or mark the glass in the cabinet ;P

plus... the pics are very dark, it has brighter colors irl ;)

I mean can you get more expensive tree or are you stuck with birch and pine? (björk och furu)

Okay, thanks for the info! :) I don\'t think I\'ll enter .. won\'t have much to enter now anyways as I\'m busy painting other minis. Hope you do well at the competition!
