Waiting for new pics!

the model is actually done - actually because I have to prepare bigget pics and probably add a plaque: the nail in front of the base is quite distracting ^^
otoh I might paint it and add some weathering around...

snail is pretty distracting too. you could have made it darker.
I like the mini, and base is fantastic.

you are damn good at basing my friend

may be so more close up pics of the minis, because it's hard to comment ^^

I'm not gonna lie - the base was supposed to be the focus point of the mini
I'm glad you like it!

I actually wanted to make it rather pale - the shell was almost pure white when I found it (it's dweller has been dead for a quite a long time ) but I'll keep it in mind and next time I'll make the shell much darker!

you can comment the base again and once again write how much you like it to pimp my ego
but seriously - lastnight I was too tired to redo the pic but I'll do it today unless I get drunk too fast: we have planned moving game table to the new spot and such operations require huge amount of alcohol

I don't mind pale colour in general. In this particular case it draws too much attention - big, white spot on a generally dark scene.

exactly what I felt:

1. oh, a snail!
2. nice base.
3. ...
4. oh, and there's a mini on it!

the snail steals the whole attention, and I am not sure if it's a good thing.
but it seems you managed to gain control over the resin water effects!

now show us the mini

well you're getting much better with the water effects for sure looks really mucky and muddy, i like it. The base is nice, i think the shell might have more of an effect if you decided to paint the plinth black too. Maybe a light background might help?

I'll remember to watch out for snails making another swamp
and as for dark plinth - I actually didn't want to do that - I like original color of the wood and it's texture but I guess that would be smart move to paint it anyway

If you like the texture andwant it to show up, you can always buy woodvarnish in most DIY shops. It makes the wood darker, but keeps the texture
