I haven't watched the entire video yet, but I have a fairly unique basing method that hardly anyone else uses: wall/plaster filler, watered down so it doesn't hold a shape but is still able to stay in one puddle, custard consistency. Get egg shells (cook the egg first if you eat them, my wife likes boiled egg and salad cream so she loves it when I need more egg shells as I make her egg salad sandwiches 🤮) and put them in a sealed container; I use a jam jar with the lid on. Shake the jar until you get the size you want; a light shake will produce large bits of shell. The more shaking you do, the smaller the pieces will be. Mix the egg shell into your watered down wall filler, give it a stir, and then apply to the base. You can sprinkle some larger pieces of shell onto the wet mixture to create a very rugged looking, spikey terrain. Once the basing material dries, prime it and then paint any colour you want. A huge bonus of this is that it adds weight to the base, so miniatures are more stable on the table. I usually add filler into the bottom of the base, too. After a light sanding, the miniatures glide over the table top the way chess pieces do. If it is a larger base (Titan size), I add some sprue as ribbing to the bottom of the base and then fill the gaps with wall filler. The ribbing gives the filler something to hold in the middle of the larger bases. I will have a look at the product you have recommended here. It is nice-looking stuff.

A bit of a question, when basing armies for consistency this looks great, and lots of youtube videos show creating these bases without minis attached, but presumably you would normally have a mini gluee to the base and apply this stuff round their feet? Just concerned their feet would disappear? If you apply to base first then glue a painted mini on top would think there is a risk the model is just attached to the materials and would break off easily?
@TheFeralPainter2 ай бұрын
Either way would be fine tbh. Just be carful when gluing basing stuff around ☺️ i have some basing tutorials coming soon 👌🏻

With any fixer you will always get some discolouration, however ive found that the kraut fixer is the best and causes the least colouration. Just apply less amount and see how u get on

Hi Sascha! Fixing Groundcover, Sand and Gravels with a Fixing Solution is a Science of its own. In a Nutshell: Each material in a Basing Material may react different with the Fixing Agent and what works perfect with Earth and Sand, can look suprisingly different with certain Plant Materials or dusty Stonemixes. Unfortunately its impossible to cover all Materials 100% in all Cases of Use. BUT! The Kraut Fixer has a nice Ability that you should try before you determine it as Failed with your certain Basing Material. We produce the Kraut Fixer in a Stock Solution with a certain Amount of Fixing Resin in the Isopropyl Alcohol Solvent Base. Thats a quite thick Stock Solution that is made to make a maximum Fixing when using and cover all Applications in this Configuration. You can thin down this Stock solution with pure Isopropyl Alcolhol up to 25% Additional Alcohol. It still makes a perfect Fixing Job for Basing, but reduces Colorshifting Effects significantly. Try to Avoid excessive Pooling while using the Fixer helps reducing the Colorshifting as well.

@@saschabernhardt5269 You need not much Fixer to do the Job. Let it soak in the Material and stop before the Fixer creates a puddle beneath the material. We use the Fixer drop by drop and spread it over the whole Base. Due the pure Alcohol Base its made from it reacts completly different from water based fixing agents. It soakes in fast and has no surface tension that would avoid it to moisterize the whole Basingmaterial layer.

I've found the test base I've done becomes rather sloppy once the fixer is applied, does the fixer have a longer drying time or am I applying too much? I assume it's the latter. Do you think the fixer is strong enough on its own? Many thanks again for your time and help. @@TheFeralPainter
