This is - by far - the most realistic looking and also well done tutorial for Jungle bases that i´ve ever seen!

[@theminiaturemen40k]

Thank you!

[@stevetaylor6995]

What I love about this is that, with a slight tweak to the paper plants used this is also a super realistic woodland base (which is what I was actually looking for when I found this video!) Liked and subscribed!

[@Blottingpaper]

These are some of the most realistic bases I've seen, incredible work.

[@ChibsterofNurgy]

Good tutorial. Looks pretty realistic to me. Subbed for more.

[@theminiaturemen40k]

Thanks! We have a lot more to come!

[@TheP0gFather]

Very cool tutorial, thanks!

[@dantaylor964]

Great video. These bases look really good.

[@TheAndrian463]

Very realistic; I like these paper plants that one can get these days. I use photo etched plants like ferns from some model railroad manufacturers, they need a little bit more work since they are brass and require an etch prime before painting. A bit late for my comment for an old vid.

[@theminiaturemen40k]

Nice I’ll look into those! Always something new for us to learn. Thanks for sharing!

[@ChristoferGBG]

Finally! This is excellent, I have been looking all over for a tutorial like this!

[@theminiaturemen40k]

Glad it helped!

[@CBrook5]

Amazing result, very easy steps, well explained! Would love to see your take on desert bases next.

[@rockkiller124]

Looks breathtaking, subscribed

[@redbeardie]

Another awesome tutorial. (I’m just watching this to relax after making a base using your urban rubble tutorial... 🙂)

[@theminiaturemen40k]

Awesome, thanks for the support!

[@matthewcallebs5909]

Whoa major Paul Hogan vibes there. I think I'll try this out and think of you the whole time.

[@azir64]

I was convinced these were like factory made. Well done!

[@theminiaturemen40k]

Thanks!

[@JoshuaBiagi]

incrediable video young sir! im definalty using a lot of this knowledge moving forward, thank you!

[@theminiaturemen40k]

Thank you!

[@tjdoc143]

Great base and video. You can also use tea bags for foliage or leaves that have fallen.

Love this welcome tutorial . Can be applied as well to my dioramas . Happy to discover your channel and subscribe it .

Thank you for the kind words. As a history teacher, I think your channel looks pretty awesome!

This is great! you got yourself a new follower!

[@thevilside179]

Great video! Say, where can I find the darker tufts? Didn't see them on green stuff world

[@theminiaturemen40k]

Thanks, I believe these are the ones I used amzn.to/3L62aeu

[@ChimeraWargaming]

Great video. I'm just subbed here.

[@frankling.robertsiii6811]

Nice tutorial, but you might want to use a sealant to lock the basing in.

[@schaaf9637]

great job mate

[@azir64]

If I can give anyone a tip. If you are superglueing any flat surface to another relative flat surface. Try to either make a lil hole or even cuts on the even surfaces. It helps the glue settle and adhere more strongly. Also prevents it from breaking off from falling etc.

[@theminiaturemen40k]

Great tip!

[@jakublhotan9029]

Very good!

[@davidsanchezplaza]

amazing! make one for desert bases

[@giantorres3352]

Great video

[@galan8115]

Idk why, the tufts doenst seem like the light green to me. Thank you for the tutorial

[@dustinhicks3329]

Very new to the hobby. How would you attach a mini to this base? It seems like the mini would fall off easily when you glue it to the extra stuff on the base.

[@theminiaturemen40k]

Great question, for scenic bases you’ll want to drill and pin the model. Essentially you drill a tiny hole in the bottom of the foot and on the base and use a small piece of a paper clip to connect the two. It sounds complex but it’s actually super easy

[@dustinhicks3329]

@@theminiaturemen40k ahh awesome thanks for the reply. I have seen people doing that with heavier models

[@ThomasMartinistooawesome]

My Blood Tigers do occupy the Jungle Moon of Tryjon II so my be breaking out the oregano soon.

[@mrpoketokyo]

Excellent tutorial! Would you spray the foliage with a glue/water mix or varnish to hold the scatter in place or is the original coat enough?

[@theminiaturemen40k]

The original coat works well but varnish won’t hurt and will make it even more secure

[@mrpoketokyo]

@@theminiaturemen40k thanks for the speedy reply! Just subbed 😁

[@flavamusicaccount1011]

Does it look good if you swap the mud with a sand texture, for coastal jungles?

[@theminiaturemen40k]

I haven’t tried it but I bet it would, you’d maybe want to do a little less roots

[@flavamusicaccount1011]

@@theminiaturemen40k Good thinking! Hoping to make something somewhat resembling coastal florida.

[@theminiaturemen40k]

That sounds cool! Hope they turn out great

[@azir64]

One question, which varnish would you use and at which stage ? I always have the issue of varnish either dulling down my colours or being too shiny :(

[@theminiaturemen40k]

I use Testors dull cote on most things. Ak ultra matte if I want something super dull. For these bases you don’t need a varnish but it would help hold down the scatter foliage some so I would do it after that stage but before doing the paper plants.

[@SirLumini]

Do you just superglue the minis on the painted base?

[@theminiaturemen40k]

If you have a flat enough area you can superglue them but pinning the model works best

[@Meuduso1]

That intro lmao

[@rainerjensen525]

Used this technique for my new leviathan tyranids and it turned out phenominal right up until i used the scatter. Yours looks so legit and leaf like but the one i got was more like sand. What brand did you use because i cant see the lid.

[@theminiaturemen40k]

I used one by greenstuffworld called scatter foliage beige. I’ve also heard people having good results with the contents of teabags or just going down the spice isle if you’re in a bit of a rush

[@Storm-knight101]

this thing is funny

[@LeeGrimes-c4t]

Where did you get them tree stumps,been looking for some like that everywhere ?

[@theminiaturemen40k]

Greenstuffworld has two varieties of them

@@theminiaturemen40k thanks

[@chrisreay7033]

Im struggling to source the roots, dies anyone have any suggestions?

[@theminiaturemen40k]

www.dioramapresepe.com/en/prodotto/perfect-roots-for-dioramas/ Here’s one site that sells them. Another thing you can do is go to a store that sells plants and ask if they have any they died. They usually just toss them out daily. Search diorama roots and you can probably find other sellers

[@Mshull90]

Anyone know where I can buy roots?

You can also go to your local hardware store and ask if they have any dead plants in the garden section. They just throw them out otherwise
