Orkimedes 592 Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) I’ve seen some Crait themed basing floating around and wanted to give it a shot for my rebels. Here’s my first experiment. Has anyone else tried Crait bases? Any tips? Edited April 29, 2018 by Orkimedes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadows of the Future 94 Posted April 25, 2018 Personally, I'd suggest starting with a fine sand, prime it with a rust red and highlight with a true red. When that completely dries, seal it. Then use the crystal clear tacky glue (Aileens is a great option), and use some of the fine, white craft sand to sprinkle over the areas you want white. The craft sand looks a lot more like the salt layer than most other options I've seen and the local dollar store, for me, has the sand there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KalEl814 1,510 Posted April 25, 2018 I’m going to do the base with some Vallejo brown earth or whatever their sand texture is, then paint it up magenta / black / red for some variety. Then I’ll top that with Citadel agrellan earth while leaving some of the red exposed. When the agrellan earth dries and cracks, I’ll drybrush it white and pale grey.

Mep 2,291 Posted April 26, 2018 I suggest giving magnetic iron oxide - epoxy mix with a strong magnetic under the base a try. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
