Remember this post by Michael from a few weeks ago? He was testing a press mold for bases and wrote about his results, which he was pleased with. It got me thinking if I could scour my bitz box and pressmold some bases with bitz i had forgotten about long ago. Some worked, one didn't. Here they are:
The bottom one was pressed with the old Robogear Bio Toxin plant, using one of the big chem tank bitz. Came out nice.
The wheel base was made riding a wheel over it
The last one looked like....well nothing. I didn't know what I was doing and started to act like a toddler, just pushing things into the greenstuff.
Here they are painted
I think the bottom one could go for a tau or eldar type base. The wheel one would do great with desert themed guard armies and the metal one would be ...something you toss.I still had LOADS of fun doing this, please do it as well. It's now called press mould therapy. Works well after a stressful day.

Very cool, I especially like the tire track print.. maybe have one with something smashed into the mud by the track..
ReplyDeleteLooking very nice. I really like the bottom one.
ReplyDeleteGood idea using random bits lying around. I agree with the term "press therapy", I have often spent a mindless evening molding bases.
