Great video going over the different types of basing materials.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Thanks, I personally love evpc / foamex, shame it can be expensive!

[@chrisg5929]

Thank you for the video! I've just painted a layer of green acrylic paint onto some E-PVC, put a layer of PVA glue down, and flocked it with grass. Leaving it to dry overnight. Hopefully it sticks!

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Make sure you deal it afterwards as well

[@chrisg5929]

@@TerrainMadeEasy What do you recommend to seal with on this base?

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

@@chrisg5929 Not static grass - pva water and some flow aid. Static grass = matt varnish spray

Dear Jay, try using a coping saw when cutting thick mdf, its a lot easier! If you are cutting/sawing mdf please use a mask as mdf contains fibres that are harmful. To bevel use a mouse sander. I would strongly recommend doing this outside! Both tools available from B&Q at reasonable prices. To strengthen foam board use a 50/50 mix of mode podge with grey or black paint with a little pva. Kind Regards Johnny

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

For sure, sound advice!

You can spray the EPVC with some flat paint or matte varnish and then paint and watered down PVA will work better. Reaper mini's (made out of PVC) supposedly don't need priming, but I've had a lot of the miniatures be hydrophobic just like EPVC, so I end up having to spray them with primer.

[@TerrainMadeEasy]

Yeah that makes sense, I should spray ot before I glue stuff to the base! I will try and remember it.

Trying out foamex. Finding my pva followed up by sand/grout+sealent is peeling off! Any ideas?
