The ones I have been basing - Echo Base Troops, Classic Characters, and Imperial Navy Troops all have smooth bases or I do not worry about them <G> I paint the washer with primer - then let dry. Then I white glue the figure onto the washer. - then let dry. Then I load the figure/washer combo with glue to about the figures ankles and smoothly all around. Wear shorts that you don't mind getting glue on as fingers are the best spreading device and pants are the best finger glue clearing device. Once I have a smooth cover I throw on the flock both a cover of fine and some chunky. The glue shrinks as it dries so you get a somewhat smooth and faded in base. I uploaded a couple of pics that show them: http://home.coqui.net/rmako/ship1.jpg http://home.coqui.net/rmako/ship2.jpg The ship deck is my in progress Dirtcheep starship deck. On topically that is an FMA game in progress <G> Bob Makowsky [quoted original message omitted]
