At Warfare I bought a number of item from
Blotz, including one of their
Statue Bases.
As you can see, it is a nice simple kit (the price might have gone up 50p).
It could do with some alignment pegs through the base, as I did not quite align the base pieces, which required some minor filling and work with a file.
I did fill the joints using Milliput, and filed and distressed the surface.
As this was to go in
Gustav's Square, I drilled the former mounting point holes for the missing state and plaque.
The visible surface was first sprayed with Rustoleum Rust Effect spray to give it some texture. It was then sprayed with Humbrol Desert Tan.
The base was then washed with Citadel Nuln Oil and verdigris added with Citadel Coelia Greenshade. It was then dry brushed with Citadel Terminatus Stone.
It is a very versatile piece of scenery, it is just as useful in Vietnam games, games set in Cornwall or anywhere from the 19 Century onwards.
Empress US Marines use the base as cover.
