Basing BEF Pt1
A cold and miserable day has failed to dampen my quest to add a BEF 1940 Force to my ORBAT's. I have carried out a bit of everything today, but I think I will post my way of actual basing. Above shows my basing material, which is a self adhesive vinyl tile which can be picked up at any DIY outlet for a small cost. I like these because they are cheap and easy to work with, which are both ticks in my boxes. Next I mark out the bases sizes with a normal pen which writes quite well on the shiny surface. I leave the paper backside cover on. You can use this as your basing side, but I have had a few problems in doing so, so I don't bother now days.
Next step is the cutting out, I use kitchen scissors, which really sets off the Cook if she finds out, hence this is carried out clandestinely...
The last phase of step one is using a cheap auto primer, I spray paint the bases and leave to dry for an hour or so. I use black because I can pick it up at work for free, and I believe it gives depth to the finished product. Horses for courses I think.
