The Vallejo range of basing products was brought to my attention by Legoburner. These 200ml jars contain a textured paste which I can best compare to gritty peanut butter. Once placed on the base (with an old knife - just like spreading peanut butter) the paste dries hard ready for painting and dry brushing. The grey pumice appears best suited to 15mm and 28mm figures. They are a great time saver and one jar will last ages. Well worth a look next time your in your local hobby shop.Thanks for the tip Legoburner.
I use the Vallejo pumice paste for basing my 15mm FOW stuff and my 6mm ACW figures. The stuff I use is packaged a bit differently than your pictures and is labeled "Piedra Pomez 599".
ReplyDeleteIt's a very useful basing tool

Might have look at this stuff. How's the Matilda coming along?
ReplyDeleteHey Al. The Matilda is going fine but slow. I have painted the base colours, black washed it. Now I have to dry brush it and hit it with some weathering powders. Might be a little while before I finish because I have also been slaving over a bunch of 15mm Belgian infantry.
