Hiding the “pudding bases” on Frostgrave Miniatures

I don’t like cutting the bases off the feet of Frostgrave figures, so here’s how I hide them. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

    It's a shame you haven't posted in a while since all 3 of your videos are brilliant and have such high standards it's really enjoyable to watch! Do you post other stuff anywhere? Also all the bits where you say it might be self explanatory or basic can actually be quite nice to watch as well since the whole process is really satisfying to see done so well!

    You can also use UV resin and a UV torch/flashlight with this exact technique and have them done in a matter of seconds

    The nice thing about trimming the bases from around the feet is that it elevates the feet and eliminates the "standing in mud" look that you sometimes get when putting basing material around a mini. Check out the Wargames Atlantic bases - they have a recessed top that allows the pudding base to line up with the lip.

    You can also just flip the reaper base over and bury the whole thing. Adjust the height of the mini with styrene strip. Uses more putty, but that also adds more weight to the base. Quick tip: JB Weld's Plastic Stik can be bought at the hardware store, and cures in 30 minutes. I can usually do 3 minis before it cures if I move quick enough.

    "Don't eat putty" 😂 I really like this technique, especially for these. I know they are closer to 'true 28 mm', but adding a base gives them a bit more height to match with my heroic 28 figures.

    I love these figures, but they really do feel like they need something other than the flat discs they come with or those bases attached to their feet. I hope they just stop including those in future kits like they did with Stargrave. lol

    Nice! I always use my reaper bases upsidedown to yours. I find filling the "well" with sand/ballast adds just enough weight to help the tipping. Then I put the pudding base on the level with the top edge of the well. It's a bit tricky since you lose the level surface, but it does allow you to put logs or stones into the ground.

    Nice, that’s a good way to add larger debris without the figure standing on a small mountain of stuff 👍👍

    What tufts did you use on the intro model? I like how they have very short strands. The tufts in my local stores are quite long and can look oversized next to 28mm guys.

    I put my minis on washers and these pudding bases are useful to cover the hole in the washers. Any particular reason you use putty instead of filler?

    Could you bridge the gap entirely with texture paste, thus eliminating the putty stage altogether?

    I imagine you could, yeah. I like to use the putty because it's a quick and easy way to get a smooth transition between the two bases that also provides a solid foundation for a thinner layer of texture paste.

    Your painting looks really nice but this video didnt need to be 12 minutes long.
