Tutorial: Scrap bases by Sonny


Written by top Danish painter Sonny Bundgaard, this tutorial shows a very simple way of making a base with an industrial feel to it.

I own several of his models now with these bases including an entire Grymn squad and they look as effective on the Grymn as they do on the demure poledancer or the adventurer 'Kat'

Decal reviews


As part of our research into the decal range we sent out samples to various customers and asked them for their opinions and if they encountered any problems.

This article shows how testing the decals threw up a few minor issues and how we dealt with them. One customer, Steven Marchant reviewed the white-coated paper decals.

Applying decals


Written by James Mok, this article shows how to apply a basic decal.

I took some quick pics showing how i used one of the white-based decals of red/yellow warning chequers with a black-primed TFT resin base (thanks Steve!). Not the best photography as Jenny pushed the button on the camera (which means that some of them were a bit blurred) but a useful article none the less.
