They just don't fit well on a 25mm. Yeah, about rebasing, how are you planning to do it and what do people typically do when they do so? I'm going to have to rebase some minis since it was easier to put the minis on corks first. Do you just seal the mini then create the footprint on the base and paint and seal the base separately, then attach them?

Vallejo Surface Primer, Vallejo Airbrush Thinner. They work great. I just found out about the thinner recently. It really helps, and no it isn't just water.

Badger Stynylrez primers and Liquitex airbrush thinner are also good and slightly more available if you're going through Amazon.

I've never felt the need to seal a base before. I also use these for models that I've already painted, they're a lifesaver:  http://eccentricminiatures.com/adapterrings.html They're especially useful if you have a slotta base.

Badger Stynylrez primer, goes on beautifully, super nice surface to paint on, needs no thinning to apply unlike others. I've previously used rattle cans and Vallejo, both are not as good. For thinning I use Vallejo Airbrush Flow Improver and water. Most airbrush thinners have a drying accelerant, so will create tip dry faster than flow improver, which has a mild retarder in it. (good for airbrushing).

I'm in Melbourne, so I use Combat Company, Metro Hobbies, and House of War in Ringwood. But these days I'm moving away from Vallejo into Scale 75 more and more.

Do you just seal the mini then create the footprint on the base and paint and seal the base separately, then attach them? It depends on your exact base configuration but I personally would probably just pull the mini off its temporary base, paint the base, glue the mini to its base, pin if necessary, maybe drybrush a little of the base's colors on the mini's feet/boots (representing dust/mud/whatever, tie them together a bit) then seal the whole mini at once. That's more or less what I did for my Grey Knights.

I used Vallejo for a long time as I use pretty much everything else from them, but I tried Stynlrez on a whim and ended up buying a white/grey/black triad straight away. It is amazing stuff.

Here in Germany that stuff seems to be north of 20€ for a 120ml/4oz bottle which is more than twice of what i'm paying for Vallejo.

  I'm playing a Halfling Bard who has a pet Mastiff in a new D&D campaign. I had zero motivation to paint the Halfling mini as I already painted an Elf to use but was displeased with my PC being larger than the dog, so I bought one of WOTC's pre-primed D&D minis. I like how his cloak came out for the most part, though. poo poo photos as I'm at work

Cross posting my (nearly) completed Space Marine Terminators. The Doom Cogs! The Sergeant isn't done yet, I still have to do his war skirt.       These guys are an allied CAD to my AdMech army. I have 20 Tactical and 10 Terminators. Still gotta get 2 drop pods and an HQ.

It's been far to long since I had time to pick up a brush but managed to touch up and make some small progress on the canoness tonight. Looking forward to getting her finished and based. I think I am going to re-do the hair.

My gf also bought me a little squad of sisters to go with her.

 I'm thinking about using a bone color fro the trim, but I'm unsure as it may blend in too much with all the horns and crud popping out of chaos gubbins. Any suggestions?

I'd recommend using bronze/brass/gold as trim. Unintended bonus- you can wash it with purple too to age it.

I kinda like the idea of the trim also being bone but would have to see it to know if it was too much
