Even een leuk artikeltje over de bases ...... eigenlijk over het vergeten van de bases. Opzich herken ik mezelf ook wel in de beschrijving die hier gegeven wordt. Je heb een hele tijd besteed aan het painten van je model en dan raffel je het af door even wat op je base te plakken. Ja ik ben het eens met de stelling dat dit veel beter kan.
Nou hier komt het artikel, oordeel zelf. Vergeet niet op LEES MEER te drukken om het hele artikel te lezen.
So you’ve spent the last month working on your army’s centerpiece or on that painting contest entry and you're ready to work on the base. Then for whatever reason you spend maybe an hour or two on it and call it done. If you have gone to all that effort to turn out a masterpiece figure then why are you spending so little time on completing the job and making the base match the figure?
Oftentimes I spend so much time on the figure that by the time I get to the base I want to be done and so I speed through the basing process. When you’re painting armies, time spent on bases is time not spent on painting the army, so we’ve developed many schemes to make basing an army a quick job. These tricks help give the army a cohesive look in a simple and quick way but are not always appropriate for high quality presentations.
Bases should be thought of in the same terms as the figures which we paint. They are the frame for the story that each figure is telling. The ground is affected by light and shadows in the same way the figure is. Figures should look like they belong on the base, and that the base and the mini are one presentation. Lets look at the the basics of basing. (I'll get around to scenic/dioramic bases in a future article.)
