Not sure what's on it, but the base itself looks like either the back of a picture frame or a ceramic tile.

A broken flatscreen. A moldy pizza box. Something from a garbage can. A lid to a plastic container. An uninteresting guessing game. A stolen restaurant serving tray. My rear end.

God drat it, it looks like what it's supposed to now. Let's just all base our stuff in a naturalistic way! Fine! More profits for Big Flock. But someday, you'll go outside, and there'll be no moss, lichen, or sawdust, and you'll be like 'but what happened to our mother', and it'll be too late.

Cat litter + mortar & pestle for all your basing needs. One substance, multiple consistencies. Never buy model railway mats again. This brand has the added benefit of smelling like aloe vera.

Playing around with a pile of Scale 75 paints I picked up, here's a pretty rough WIP on Thyron from warmachine.   So far, I'm really happy with the way his pants are looking, though I need to push those highlights up a little and drop the shadows a touch, plus a little cleanup. The silver needs a lot more blending, but is off to an okay start, ditto for the blue cloth. I think the grey areas (lower legs, arms, chest, sword wrap) will end up being black or tinted warmer with a violet/burgundy-type color, not sure yet. Not sure about the black-lining in the details at the moment, that's mostly there as a placeholder in case I want to do some sort of glow effect, though I kind of like the high contrast black and silver thing I've got going. It'd be cleaner, but I only had a #2 brush around, so that's what got used. Need to go back with something smaller and really work the details, among other things. The sword is a total sketch job at the moment, and needs serious blending attention. My weapon work is terrible and I need to push myself to improve here. The base is going to end up being a red rock mesa of some sort, I'm pretty sure. That'll be a nice bit of contrast with the rest of what I've got going on there, as well as with what will eventually be a pretty verdegrised up piece of clockwork wreckage and some green scrub jammed in cracks. In terms of paint reviews, I'd say that the Scale 75 metallics are quite nice, but need the absolute gently caress shaken out of them, which can get quite tiring. The basic colors are similarly thick, but slightly less prone to separating, and (as shown here) dry very, very matte, which makes them pretty difficult to blend with when you mainly use a slightly sloppy layer-based approach like I was doing here (since I was stuck using just one brush). Assuming you're prepared for that, the range has a nice selection of colors, and the separate metal and ink sets are both solid value and a good entrance to the line, since they don't duplicate anything in the main range. As an aside, the full set of non-metallic/ink colors comes with a pretty snazzy aluminum tray to store everything in, complete with appropriately colored stickers for your compulsive sorting needs. I wouldn't necessarily recommend buying any entire paint range, but as far as extras go, I like that one a lot more than the typical vallejo plastic box that breaks in a few months of heavy use.

Vaporware posted:Right, but you're using the non-clay variety? I would assume it is the clay variety. Other types won't break up nicely and are likely organic in some way. I've used clay kitty litter as a Devlan Mud before it was a thing. Pain to paint because you wet it to get the cracks, then the wetting brought out oils or something. Just soaked up the paint. But for balast clay litter is pretty great... unfortunalely my wife is picky about what our cats poop in so now I use a few varieties of sand.

Vaporware posted:Right, but you're using the non-clay variety? I think it is clay. I'll have to check. Mix this stuff with PVA though and you've got soil paint that is easily primed. It even has the added benefit of changing colour when it's dry! In this case the stuff is bright pink when wet, pastel pink when dry.
