Thank you for showing exactly how to pin the model to the base when you're done! Most basing videos skip over that part.

Nice work! Perhaps next video you could do a Urban base, perfect for Berlin or a Hive World Random Idea: after priming the base, perhaps paint the rock grey first before moving on to greens and brown. Might make it look the stone has been slowly beimg buried under dirt and grass

I collect leaves from the garden, dry them as needed, blend them and sieve them. I get various sizes of leave litter for free. Looks great to boot.

Using mint leaves and parsley blew my mind lol. Such a straightforward solution. How do they fare over time however? I imagine they would rot away?

I used herbs as ground flock for Bocage I did 4 years ago. They lose aroma but don't rot away. Also, what Pete forgets to do (and what you should do) is fixing the herbs, using some watered down PVA with a drop of dish soap. So they don't fall off over time.

Hi Pete. A quick question over the use of the Corriander and Mint. 2 years on, how has the basing materials fared? Did you need to seal them in some way to prevent them rotting?

I wouldn't recommend using super glue with cork. cork contains cellulose, which can cause an exothermic reaction with superglue. And since most cork sheets are made from recycled cork, there can also be an exothermic reaction with some types of glue used to form the sheets. Use PVA glue or craft glue instead, even though it takes longer to cure.
@PeteTheWargamer
@PeteTheWargamer 5 жыл бұрын
I've seen similar claims with superglue and cotton, while the exothermic reaction does occur the amount of heat produced is not enough to cause any burns or spontaneous combustion, especially in the small amounts I'm using here. There was a hoax video on the subject going around a few years ago that claimed otherwise which seems to have ignited many peoples fears: www.popsci.com/diy/article/2012-09/gray-matter-playing-fire/
@naphaneal
@naphaneal 5 жыл бұрын
​@@PeteTheWargamer it doesn't need to cause a fire, but the exothermic reaction causes aggressive fumes, which lead to severe eye and respiratory injuries. and that is a health hazard, you can mitigate.

@TheRunesmythe 5 жыл бұрын
Been using cork and superglue for years now and I've never run into any problems with, either heat or fume related. This makes me wonder if its specific brands of glue since you will get some variance from manufacturer to manufacturer.

It's surprising how useful household items can be in miniature modelling. Salt is great for masking off areas you want to appear rusty, bi-carb can be used as a basis for snow and moss and your trusty kettle is great for reshaping soft plastic models. And that's just to name a few.

Nice base, As a rule of thumb do you pin your minis to their base or do you use plastic glue ? I guess with resin bases it's either super glue or pinning..
@naphaneal
@naphaneal 5 жыл бұрын
Pinning gives more stability, especially on elevated bases. You could also use PVA-, 2-part epoxy-, craft glue, or even modelling putty (e.g. milliput) to fix you mini on the base.
@PeteTheWargamer
@PeteTheWargamer 5 жыл бұрын
If I'm gluing straight to the base I usually just use plastic/super glue depending on the material. If I'm doing any scenic basing or the contact point is very small or model is quite tall/ heavy then I will often use pinning to make things a little sturdier
