Vendetta Flying Base

Squad 3 is pretty much done (after a frustrating 3 weeks! Argh!) So now I'm preparing to make a start on the bargain Vendetta that i got off eBay! Need some time off troops for a bit!

In preparation for an early start to painting tomorrow, i got the flying base done (mostly) Used the same method as the last base and went with the Milliput, which gave me that extra depth and detail. With this base i constructed a small campsite, likely belonging to some deserter from the local PDF (clearly not Elysian, ahem!) We've got a small, tatty scrap of camo netting which was made from medical gauze soaked in watered down PVA. Small strips of paper were then added, again soaked in watery PVA. I roughed up a scrap of wooden dowel to prop the thing up and added a small fire pit as well! Very homely! Various supplies are also littered around; fuel cans, spade, bedroll, you know the usual!



I really like it, but I'm aware that its probably grossly OTT for a flying base! Never mind. I'll get this based with sand tomoz and have it painted, provided i get the Vendetta done! Busy, busy busy!

  2. Nice one! I've been also wondering how to enhance my Vendetta base and these is sure a lot of ways to be creative with it. Keep up the good work.
