Frank "PlasticBattle" Glackin wrote us an excellent article on how to make a beautiful base for dioramas and vignettes. In his article he's working in 1/16th scale, but with a few minor adjustments this will also work very well in 1/35th scale.
An excellent article !

Nice - but I cannot help wonder why 5 of the 11 photos are of the figure when the article is about the base ??

Hi Jan. Firstly this was posted more than 3 years ago ... its not new.
There are several in-progress shots of the base and how it was made, and there are only so many angles you can show the same piece of wall from.
The title of the piece is called "Building a base for a 1/16 scale figure" so I thought .... silly me .... that a few pics including the figure would be suitable for this article.

Yeah, well somebody brought it up again
I agree that 1-2 pictures of the fully painted figure (which is nice too) would be fine - but why the unpainted pictures etc....
N/M - just a thought
