I would add dark brown paint into the pva glue. I allows you to bypass the first 2 layers of your paint. Dry brush, wash with different earthy colours (green/brown) and then dry brush. Good use of everyday items. You can make your own texture paste with sand/grit/mortar, pva glue and paint. Store it in an airtight tub. :)

Jungle is massive.

Love it. Beyond amazing!

Mixing up jungle bases with some sparse moss to read as vines and underbrush is one of my favorite things to do. Great tutorial!

The use of herbs and such was a great tip. Thanks.

As someone who's been looking into jungle bases, I will absolutely have to give Gamer's Grass a try. Thanks!

Excellent use of the word “detritus” ❤ we stan a lad who makes to scale leaves and plant life and has a 10/10 sick vocabulary

great idea using old tea bags and herb mix, I use dried fine sand off the beach, mixed with raspberry leaf (£5 a kilo) and stuff ive scavenged from the forest, like dried seed pods and nut shells. Great video dude, thanks for the tips

Your choice of music for these videos is top notch.

Good stuff, gave me some great ideas! Two things I might do different are only using (heavy) washes to basecoat the dirt mix so the seperate elements shine through a bit more, and adding some matt varnish or washes to the cutout plants to make them less "out of the box".

I think I'll use this on some of my infinity bases. Great work!

Very good work ! Thanks for the ideas and this good video. I hope there will be others with bases !!

Muy buen trabajo. Buen video. Tomaré datos para un diorama de Vietnam que voy a hacer 👍🏼. Very good work. Good video. I will take data for a diorama of Vietnam that I am going to do 👍🏼

Nice tutorial Connor. Have a good day.

good job very greative and artistic artwork

you can make your own clump foliage from car wash sponges, break small chunks off and put it though a coffee grinder then dye it with some green paint and flow improver. it helps to do more then one batch when it comes to colours then mix them once dry.

These look unreal! thanks man!

Those plastic Aquarium plants could also be quite useful as basing material and hopefully might be more durable .

Really nice Video thanks Bro!

if you want to make like muddy pools like for rain-forest jungle a mix of coffee grounds (just dry out the ones you use for morning coffee) mix with glue and your choice of brown paint gets a nice thick lumpy texture and you can glob it on thick and push the feet of your model in to make footprints, ad a little paint medium or water to thin it and then you can use it like mud splatter, i base my orks on mud and i like to make my trucks and battle wagons nice and mucky like they have been driving at high speed through mud puddles and get my boyz feet and pants splattered like they have been stomping through mud and muck to get in the fight as fast as possible. some of my characters that i add gore effects too you can mix red food coloring and paint medium to wash the mud making it look like the mud was made by blood soaking into the dirt from a long battle

This was a great find, all hail the algorithm. Question: why spray the basing bits - they looked good ‘as is’ and seems a lot of effort to spray them and then paint them back up.

nice

Tigrex Carnosaur? instant new sub

great video! I'd recommend using cheap craft paint for doing all of your base painting stuff as it is much cheaper than the GW stuff and lasts a lot longer

This is a great idea for jungle foilage, my only concern is insects getting at the herb/tea mix

A beautiful video and I love this video so much. I think I will try it in the future. Keep up the great work that you are doing guys and make more video like this. Thanks for sharing guys!

great video dude, you got another subscriber! I'd love to see your seraphon army! any chance of a showcase video?

Also try dirty down moss effects!

Nice

excelente ideia vou tentar fazer o mesmo

cool video

Based. In every sense of the word. x

I'll be picking up some of that coconut fibre for sure

What's the water to PVA glue ratio you use? Also do you use a special brush for the glue?

Great ty

New to this type of basing. Would it be ok if I don't prime after applying the basing? Wasn't sure why you made that mix then painted over it?

Would this work for Bolt action

Great video, can you use loose leaf tea?

I guess my question is why bother with a particular mix of dirt and herbs when you're just going to prime and paint it anyway? Wouldn't any sufficiently technical paste do?

Im currently giving it a try. Did you Pin the minis to the Base or did you just glue them?

I don't understand why paint over the initial mix

You don't have to cook this in the oven or anything?

T R A N S I T I O N

What brand oval glue do you use?

which colourforge glue was that? Thin or Thick?

Btw thats an interesting looking pva glue, its just diluted white-glue? And could you update the video description pretty please with the tufts, grass and plants reference products? (im currently looking for that tiny 2mm flock you are using there.)

Probably a dumb question, but what container is your pva glue in, and how long does it stay “good” for?

do the herbs and spices not rot after a while?

Wonder if this would work for the new epic 40k game coming out in August? (8mm scale).

Nice bases, pretty “based” if you ask me

Ngl the most British thing I’ve ever seen in a video was the tea leaves as detritus. No idea why it’s just so odd I guess. Good video though.

Heresy, emptied tea bags... Noooo 😢
