As promised yesterday here's an update on my Dark Elfs base.
What happened: After adding some pva glue mixed with baking soda to create some grout almost all the definition and structure of the floor was gone. So it would have been a pain to paint and probably wouldn't look as good. Therefore I decided to re-do the whole base. :D
I didn't have another plinth in that particular size around so I had to modify the one I screwed up. First thing needed to was to get rid of the milliput. Not an easy task when it's already rock-hard. My choice fell on cutting off the upper part of the plinth and that's how it looked like after the operation:
My plan was to rebuild the plinth with plaster 'cause as you can see there wasn't much left of it. ;) In order to support the plaster and give it something to hold on to I drilled some holes in the plint and also glued some paper-clips in random places:
Now I cut out a form shaped like the plinth + wall from plasticcard and glued/fixed it onto the plinth. I thought I took some pictures of that step but it seems like I didn't or lost it - sry for that - but here's how the plinth looked after removing the plasticcards:
Fun part incoming... scratching alle the little stones in the plaster *yay*... not. After 1.5h the floor was done:
Moving onto the wall and stairs... another 2hours later I was finally done (I also added some damage and irregularities to the stones):
Last but not least (primed and basecoated):
...and now it's time to start painting it. ;)
One more thing - besides the base of my elf - I also did some rough sketching on the base of my Princess of Night:
