Heya, Randy,

These look great and might well push me into purchasing at least one of your structures that I have been eyeing for some time. Great offer, too --- base #3 and #4 rock.

Questions: does the hydrocal need to be sealed to keep it from soaking up the paint? Are enamels or acrylics better for painting them? What do you use to connect the different floors/pieces of the multi-piece structures: pins, glue (if so, what sort of glue?), etc.

Thanks, Randy!

With Regards,

John B.

Hi John,

Great questions. I always "sort of" seal hydrocal castings w/3 or 4 light coats of flat white spray paint. When that dries I use acrylic craft paints. I posted a tutorial here at one point, if you search I bet it will come up. Cheers!

Heya, Randy,

Just got my Value Base #6 (Incline Base) in the mail this week and wanted to thank you for the fast-shipping, quality product, and the extras that you threw in (walls and rubble).

It is an excellent value for the money and the inclined base itself is a great idea. I'm trying to finish a couple of builds for the Valley Con show next weekend and it will be a huge help! I could never have come up with such a quality base in the short amount of time, so it is not only a quality piece, but also a great time saver (and sanity saver --- ask my family! ).

Will definitely be back at some point for the 3-story Apartment Building, Brick Ruins, and most definitely more of the Value Bases (keep those coming!!) in the future.

Thanks for the excellent service and fine product, Randy!

With Regards and Aloha,

Johnny B.
