MiJ's Eldar Corsairs

[job]

Looks really good. I do agree that the subdued bases (although intense on detail!) will really keep the focus on your pirates in the end. Remember just 2.5 months left!!!

Base-icky done

[Lovejoy]

Bases are always a bit of an afterthought with me, but those look terrific.

If I'm doing a single display mini I quite enjoy basing, but for an army basing drives me nuts. That's why I always do a big batch of bases before I start an army build. It means when I finish a mini it is actually finished - I don't have that feeling of "yay! One more done. Oh dammit I still have to base him"

These bases are mostly Secret Weapon bases, btw. Just one skimmer base and the flyer base are my own efforts. I prefer to make my own bases, but I just don't have time these days

I know that feeling Great advice and will be doing me own bases first from now on.

That's my fault......I was teasing the sissies last summer about flowery bases, and he took me seriously.......

Wow, nice bases! I totally understand, I'm building several armies at once and they are all get the same base treatment. All a labor of live though, keep it up!

OK, so we're done with as many bases as I can realistically do. The small infantry and wraithblade bases are going to have to wait for flowers until the minis are actually glued onto them, because otherwise I suspect the flowers risk getting in the way of where I need to put the feet.

ladies and gentlemen, I give you:

an industrial estate in the midlands!


Seriously, now I have that image in my head, I can't unsee it. These bases are tiny circles of disused car park

And here's a close up of the flying base. Damn stand went all cloudy under the masking tape, and when I tried to clean it with a light swab of airbrush cleaner, that didnt help none, neither Still, the base itself is fairly pleasing, I reckon



tomorrow: spray the infantry. maybe...
