Your Momma is a Sallie part III bases


XVIII Legion

Creating masters for bases.
         Using the Warmaster base size as a gauge. The defensive line was curved out to match or fit. Then art store course grit paste increased the ground level.

         Next each was soaked in poly strain mom had kicking around. The dent stone and course grit are poruos in nature. They need an oil based liquid to absorb and lock them down. This will be the easiest way the cast them. Otherwise you would ruin the mold trying to get them out. I do not expect them to survive the molding process.
          The bases were rubber cemented to plexi. Then a wall of legos built around and rubber cemented in place.
          It is more than likely they will not survive the molding process. At least I don't expect them to and I was right.  The picture above is after de-molding. You can see some were damaged exiting the mold.


SmoothOn OO25 is the rubber of choice.
