Ugh, basing.

I got a whole Gale Force Nine sample box about half price, but I have not based even a single mini. I just did a base out of balsa wood for a wood plank style base that I will make a couple more of since the first one looks pretty good. Just cut strips, glue on, wash in black to get down in the crevices and then paint and dry brush. Balsa wood is a little soft but its easier than wooden pop-sticks to work with.

Okay, I actually ordered a few packs from Scenery Express, and I just wanted to share that they look pretty awesome. Haven't tried using them with basing yet of course, but they definitely look "high quality". I ordered a pack of summer and spring grass, as well as a pack of tufts of white and red flowers - the flowers are just...pretty.

Glad to hear it. Easy as pie to use with basing. Pick them off with a pair of tweezers, dab a little white glue to the bottom, apply to base.

 

I tend to use about 3-4 larger pieces or 5-6 smaller pieces for a standard 1" base. It leaves room for rocks or other basing details, and doesn't use up your supply of florettes too quickly.
