Make a dynamic base for your model in no time!

I used pink insulation foam and traced the size of my base on top.

I cut out the base with a hobby knife.  I cut as deep as the blade.
Next, I carefully "broke" the foam base free with steady pressure.


This is the result, which I kinda liked for maybe a fantasy tree stump! 


  But not for Ghazghkull Thraka! 
I cut the thickness I wanted with my craft knife all around the base. I then carefully ripped the pieces apart.
I then picked a few of the loose pieces off and created a shape I liked.

Now time for a base coat.  I used some inexpensive black paint.

Paint until well-covered.

This is the accent paint I decided to use.

I used a dry brush technique to layer paint over the black.
About half-way through.

A little craft glue is next. 



Taking a hobby drill, I drilled a small hole in the bottom of Ghaz's foot. 
Then I placed a small wire in the hole and secured it with a dab of glue.

Then I place Ghaz on the base.  Now it's ready to add some brush, or orky bitz, maybe a grot?
