I also assembled the platform. I forgot to test whether the pieces fit well before gluing it but fortunately they did.

Having done that, I prepared the base. I aimed for a battlefield look with some random shields, weapons and helmets lying around. The key here is not to overdo as too many details would make it look cluttered and unrealistic. I used parts of plastic ruins that I dug out from my bits box and cut away some so that it wouldn't take up too much space on the base. I also used small parts of GS below the scattered elements I added. Without those, they'd be covered with sand and gravel and virtually invisible. Once the GS hardened, I added the gravel (two different sizes) and sand.

Now I only need to put some basecoat and I can start painting.
Ta przerwa między częściami jest niewybaczalna...na podstawce widać, że bestia zwiedziła całe Śródziemie :D Nie mogę się doczekać malowania.

Hey, that pointy silver shield, where's that from? Looks pretty :)
ReplyDeleteThat'a a high elf shield from LotR minis range, an oldie but it does look nice.
