Cover the whole base in a thin layer of green stuff, and the push marks of a foot with a minitures foot.

Never done it, so I dont know if it turns out good

Ditto, that's what I would have done. Just make sure they are Hobbit sized feet though :twisted:

So i just got the message that the invisible Frodo i buyed over Ebay has been shipped

i am happy :-D

However, i was just wondering if anybody got some good ideas on how to base him.
I was not planning on painting him at all since it would sort of spoil the effect...

My idea was to try making a wet road, mabye with some footprints nearby and some grass.

However what could i make the road of (like a dirt road) and how could i make the footprints?
I guess that with the "wet" effect i could just use woodlanscenics water effects, that i just happend to have

Anyway, anybody got an idea about this? I dont need to do him as described, and i am always open to new stuff.. so well just post your ideas please, or your hints on how to make the base.

Wait, what?
You ordered the actual model, the clear plastic one,
or an empty base?

Aqan had made a muddy base for one of his miniatures a while back. You can see it in his WIP thread There's a post by him about how he did it further down the page, the one on Sun Feb 07.

Thanks for all the ideas! I should mabye have thought of it before, just to stab a few feets inside I wil try it.. however i havent gotten no green stuff... do you guys think air-drying clay will work here..? (have never worked with that...) Also how should i be going with the water?I was thinking about just pouring it inside the footsteps... however is there a good way to make static grass looks... wet sorta? Thanks also to dwarf lord of Ered Luin... that got me thinking a little on how i should paint the mud to... Imrahil Wrote Quote: Wait, what? You ordered the actual model, the clear plastic one, or an empty base? Yes i bought the actual clear plastic one (a bargain... 3€ for an OOP (plus 1,60 or somthing shipping..))
