Brilliant idea with the sand from bird cages. Might have to check that out. Really nice looking bases.

Great video 👍🏼 Thank you 🙏🏼

Nice tutorial and a nice result too.
Certainly worth the effort you put in.
I'm considering a change in my technique for basing after using the same method for years. Basically I use War World Scenics glue followed by a dip in sand and budgie grit then a sprinkling of static grass and finally tufts.
After God knows how many years of this I've decide to do something different on my next project and your vid has been very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
I've subbed too 👍

Inspired work on the bases (and great paint job on your highlanders!), I always found that the bases added a lot to the quality of our armies...👍👍

Used to drag my bases through the sand but I find it picks up too much of the stuff. Far better to sprinkle the sand on by hand, sparingly. Less is sometimes more. 😊

Your painting is great and your base size looks to be a 40mm square.
What I can’t understand in the rules is why the figures are based on such a wide base I would have thought a 1 inch square base would be big enough. I’ve halved the base size for 15mm figures at 20mm wide X 25mm deep, and they still look too far apart. So I’m rebasing my 18mm AB figures to 16mm X 20mm deep.
As I play solo this means my figures are on the same base size. Unless I find an opponent with 15mm figures, based on 15mm X 20 mm bases ☹️
