I've just seen people briefly touching on how they prefer to base their models so thought I'd start a thread devoted to it. Feel free to add questions or links to photos of your own examples.
Basing before or after painting the model?
I'm currently building a few models at the moment and intend to base them first. It follows that if you base them before undercoating then the base is already 'shaded' when it comes to finishing it. I can't see any advantage to basing after painting, any thoughts?
What type of base material?
What materials do people use for what type of look?
How to finish the sides of the base?
I was having a conversation about what finish to use for the sides of the base. I personally believe it should be totally different to the top of the base or battlefied so as to give the appearence of highlighting the model. Opinions?
