Out2gtcha Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Wow, great work, that base really adds to it. Ive only don't a couple bases for individual models but the ones I have done were similar to this in being pre-made, only needing to be prepped and painted. The base colors ended up looking great. Will be cool to see the model on it all dolled up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STWilliams Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Superb start! I think black basing is the way to go. It offers far more potential than pre shading, which invariably ends up looking artificial, forced & just too uniform. It also gives the dreaded "quilted" effect, which detracts from the paint scheme & weathering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greif8 Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 Thank you for the very kind comments everyone. I have completed the Corsair and base. Below are some photos of the finished model. I am guessing that it is also appropriate to post some photos in the finished model section also. The photos were taken using my photo tent setup. The subtle shading shows up a bit better under diffused lighting. I made a very simple frame for the base, which turned out fairly well. I'll start with a few medium distance shots.
