SAVED FROM THE BIN

[HERMAN BIX]

that looks like a smart solution

Cheers Mr Jee, I hope so.
I covered the bases with all sorts of Vallejo nature weathering effect acrylic compound & its worked well to build some texture.
Now Im waiting for the AK 8010 Snow Micro Balloons to dry

Still to weather the boots but you get the idea.
No accidental falling over from the slightest bump.
Plus they are easily removed from their bases for any reason.

Impressive work Herr Bix, that snow came out great too.

Bix, I have made bases for dozens and dozens of 1/48 figures for my O Gauge train layout. You would think it would occur to me to make bases for the 1/16 figures, too.

I think I only did one, for my DAK figure, and that was because he had to have some place to set down the MG.

I'm decent at weathering tanks and trains but I haven't yet figured out how to make up realistic scale figures.

The subtle details ( the helmet pitting, chipping the potato masher, the hi-lites of the coat creases )
escape me.
