Thanks for taking the time to make and upload this excellent instructional video. Thoroughly explains the process from start to finish. Your template idea is inspired and really helped me get the most from my rollers. Once again, sincerest thanks. Top job.

A bit late to the game, I know, but I made one of these this morning and tried it out making some 40mm bases. It makes a big difference and I suspect that with a little more practice I will now be able to get 'perfect' bases using the GSW rollers. Thanks Terry! 10/10 Regarding the clogging of the rollers, I use an ice cream tub filled with water and a drop or two of washing up liquid. During the session, when they are not actually being used, I keep the rollers in it. At first sign of clogging I use an old hard toothbrush to clean them - don't wait, do it immediately. ATM I cannot see any residue on my rollers. HTH.

Really helpful Terry thanks for sharing

Just what I was looking for :)

Thank you! This was really helpful!

This has been a really helpful video. Your method of creating a “jig” for consistent thickness of the putty is brilliant. I personally prefer straight up green stuff over a mix. While miliput certainly makes it easier to sand, I find it doesn’t stick as well to the plastic bases.

[@TerryPike]

I have since modified my approach by drilling holes into the base before adding the putty. Some of it pushes through the hole when rolled, creating a small peg which holds the base topper to the base.

[@RowanMayPV]

@@TerryPike Do you still use a 50-50 mix of greenstuff and miliput? Really nice idea to drill the holes in, how many do you go for on a 25mm base? 3?

Awesome video, buddy!

I like how the symbol of Nurgle incidentally appears at 17:10

[@silox250]

Your base made a perfect nurgle symbol out of water on yout mat. Praise papa nurgle

[@ProrokLebioda]

Have you tried adding PVA glue to the DAS clay? I've heard it helps with flexibility. And is cheaper than Miliput and GS. Haven't done it yet, but on my todo list.

[@TerryPike]

I have tried the PVA into the clay, unfortunately the results I got were a it of a mess. Its something I'll take another look at, but some other hobby channels have stated that the pva shrinks as its dries, resulting in the clay cracking anyway :/

Have you considered selling these templates?

[@richwalker659]

Been watching for 16 minutes and still to see base rolled 😂

[@omaralbertosm7068]

How can i find the roller in the page of gsw?

[@Don_Quixote_Punch]

it's under "Amazing Tools" tab. For GW games I think the 28mm seems the closest but ymmv. www.greenstuffworld.com/en/159-25-28-mm-0-0n30

[@omaralbertosm7068]

@@Don_Quixote_Punch i find in the page some roller pretty similar (mesh), is that the roller that you use for the video?

[@Don_Quixote_Punch]

@@omaralbertosm7068 sorry not my video I didn't know you were looking for specific roller I just wanted to pint you towards the rollers in general.

[@2Infinit2]

Great video but.. wow it was like half the video before you even rolled... lol. Editing is your friiiiendddd

[@TerryPike]

There are lots of pit falls and issues, I wanted to explain everything in detail so viewers could avoid them. 👌🏻
