Works In Progress, Entry 1

I will start a step-by-step on how I will put together one of my Space Wolves Grey Hunters.

With this one, I will start with the miniatures' bases.  I have a mishmash of 28mm bases in stock, some new from boxes, others old ones that need work (these I got from bulk deals from other players).

Above are eleven 28mm bases for my Grey Hunters (the extra one is for the Wolf Guard that will lead them)

Some of the bases needed some cleaning (sanding off the old flock, smoothing out the sprue cuts). I used an Xacto hobby knife and some large needle files for that.



Some had straight slots cut into the plastic to accommodate some metal models. These are called slottabases. I did not need the slots so I taped over them with masking tape.

To trim off the excess tape, I used my hobby knife. For me, it's better than a utility cutter since it is designed for more precision cuts.

This is how it all looked like after all the excess tape were sliced off


Using Loctite Super Glue-3 Liquide super glue, I set some small pebbles on the bases, generally the near the edges.

Next, I'll be preparing the Space Marine legs that will go on the bases.
