Just send my entries :-)
Love the idea of a basing contest and I enjoyed doing an extra effort on a base!
Never done this before, but now you guys made a ball rolling here in my hobby-camp! Thanks! I've already won on experience and basing-mood now, so thanks already for organising such a contest!!

If you don't get a move on with your To9G stuff Bart, I foresee a similar occurrence happening...

:wink:


Day off tomorrow, so I might give this a bash. I've never been especially creative with bases, so this might be just the ticket. Either that, or seeing the winners will be inspiring.

I definitely want to see the winning bases and also some runners up, in fact I'd like to see as many of the bases that were entered as possible. :D :rofl:

Does anyone else have the mental picture of John and Tricia rubbing their hands together gleefully and muttering 'All your base are belong to us.'...

Nice base RoG! 8)


Bart, was it you that won? The base that won looked like it was made by you.

All the small parts together formed the bushes... with the addition of some small flock ;)

Thanks mate :)

I started with plastic 'kitchen' foil, a small stroke glued with superglue on to of the rock (1 stroke on each side) and pinnend them through a small hole in the base... Used a fair amount of superglue which gave it a "wild water" (white but transparent) tint.
Then I covered all with "BUSCH Modellwasser Aqua" (1-compound-water-gel) which is great to create little waves aswell.
I had to use several (4 layers) though, leaving about 12 hours between every one of them to let it cure completely...

Great stuff, but I have no idea if it will still look like this after a year, or if the waterfall will have turned yellow'ish (since that happens to a lot of that stuff...)
