Fox Critter on interchangeable base (a lot of pictures)

[Metalchaos]

Hi everyone, it's been some time. I recently completed the individual base for the Fox Critters I painted lately. I stuck a magnet under each model and in each base socket. This way, each model and base are interchangeable. I will now build a large diorama base on which there will also be magnet encrusted socket to hold and display all the models together. As suggested by @Boaz , I used flat magnetic tape, it was easy to cut to the shape and size I needed. I used Reaper's 40mm round base and filled them with green stuff that I carved like grass. I then added natural stones and painted birch tree seeds shell and dry roots for the trees and dead gnarled branches. These 28mm pewter models were all sculpted by Dave Summers for Dark Sword Miniatures.

The Group Portrait is WONDERFUL; the sum is even greater than the LOVELY parts. I really like the bases as well. They add a certain charm to the miniatures. VERY WELL DONE!

Thanks for you comments everyone, I appreciate. I'm pick up the material the material for the diorama and will soon start working on it full time until it's completed.

I'm just missing some artificial trees now. The diorama size will be 12 x 9.5 inch (30 x 24 cm).

 

In the meantime, I'm also working on my next project. I'm assembling Viridius, have a look at my Viridius WIP.

Curious to see how this will end up once the diorama is done !
