yessss more base stuff please

[@ericheideman7512]

like those nurgle bases and things

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Good idea on the nurgle bases! I'll have to do that next.

[@shaneflickinger]

OK, good tip on priming the base first before using the crackle paste. Mine always flake off. Basing tutorials are a nice way to mix up the videos. Thanks Mr. Matt.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

You can also paint a layer of thinned PVA glue all over the base once the crackle paste dries, if you really want to make sure it stays put. Though I find the basecoat of grey tends to seal it pretty good. Thanks for watching Shane!

[@Braindead154]

I also wash my bases! It’s really quick and you can feel the difference after washing. I don’t have any issues with crackle paste after washing, even if I don’t prime.

[@Martin.W.F]

Love to see stuff like this. I always struggle to come up with basing schemes.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

I do too! It's easy for me to keep doing the old brown sand with green grass. I need to change things up a bit!

[@forouza1]

Couple tips to consider: 1. Put a drop of IPA on the small rocks/sand which will break up the surface tension and allow for your final additional of PVA glue to infiltrate all the deep crevices to seal everything in. 2. Take a ballon and rub it agains a wool sweater and hover it over the static grass, it will raise them up and make the perfectly aligned. 3. If after dry brushing the base and you don't want to get a dusty look, put some diluted wash over the base. The wash medium will knock down the dusty look.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Good tips, thank you!

[@JedrekVRoscoe]

Sweet tips, but what is IPA? Is that a paint thinner, or some other kind of surfactant?

[@forouza1]

@@JedrekVRoscoeiPA is isopropyl alcohol

[@MattsHobbyHour]

@@JedrekVRoscoe isopropyl alcohol. Just your standard rubbing alcohol.

[@JedrekVRoscoe]

@@MattsHobbyHour 🤦🏽‍♂️I should have known this. Thanks!

[@DeamoDan]

Thanks Matt! Ive just returned to the hobby after 25 years so these are extremely helpful!

[@Kiddarri1729]

hey welcome back to the crafty table

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Welcome back to the hobby!

[@diyfireking]

How aweosme, such a great work

[@Farhammer4th]

I love your videos! And i also like basing videos for inspiration. Thanks for posting this! I will try this on my Lumineth to give their white a contrast with the gray.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

That sounds like a great pairing! Thanks for watching!

[@greytoglory]

Yes! More basing tutorials, please. :)

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Will do, thanks for watching!

[@athollmcnicoll1028]

Matt : When doing basing I prefer using Black Agrate from Vallejo and then once dry add various textrues like lava flow and snow fields. But each to his / her own I say.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Sounds like a cool looking base scheme!

[@FelixTheAnimator]

This was so chill

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Glad you think so! Thanks for watching!

[@S.A.S.H.]

Nice process. and a great soundtrack.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks for watching!

[@HTM95]

Basing guides is a good idea for the channel Matt!

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks HTM I will make some more in the future!

[@millercommamatt]

I like the tufts because they add visual interest, but would there be any plant life in the Ash Wastes?

[@MattsHobbyHour]

I go for visual interest first, so in my world I'd say yes. Thanks for watching!

[@Fotoman08]

Thank you for showing us. Can you show us on different types of Terrain.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks for watching! We have a nurgle base tutorial coming next week!

[@jackcat8994]

Definitely using this for my war cry

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Awesome!

[@MariuszMatusiak-d3q]

Yes, we need more! Maybe martian bases ?

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Good idea! Thanks for watching!

[@mattobrien4849]

KZbin things done. This was a super-relaxing and interesting vid.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@crazyvikingboy2856]

What jazz do you use in the background? It’s a great addition to your videos and makes them really nice to listen to.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks! Glad it's a good fit. I use a few different free tracks from the KZbin creator music library.

[@sitasama]

Like a lot your cool voice and the tips like Stipling the glue etc. Good video. Thx

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks for watching!

[@deltacharlie1760]

But how do you glue the mini to the base afterwards? Super glue it to the painted base? Paperclips? Such a nice base I don’t want to damage it with gorilla glue

[@MattsHobbyHour]

I usually pin the model to the base afterwards using paper clips and super glue. If you prefer you could attach/paint the model first and do the base last.

[@JedrekVRoscoe]

@@MattsHobbyHourcan you do a tutorial on pinning a model to a completed base? I get the general concept, but I’ve never done it and don’t want to mess up 😅

[@MattsHobbyHour]

@@JedrekVRoscoe good idea, thanks! I'll film that process the next time I do it.

[@lovemysi07]

Do a Greek isle base please

[@silverczaja]

i would like to see a rocky base that would complement nice with dark armor something like Kronus Hegemony Leagues of Votan you can see in black armor, or Deathwatch Marines

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Good idea, thanks for the suggestion!

[@darthinfamous73]

More bases please, especially volcanic rock (not lava bases)

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Good idea! Those would be fun to paint

[@stormcrow7611]

Nice video

[@MattsHobbyHour]
