Excelent article , great asset .
I was looking for an easy rock base for quite a long time. Looking for real stone to fit can take years.

Great short article, and best of all a base that I can do! Thanks for the pictures, they speak well and help a lot.

Nice one! I will definitely try this out. Just one question remains: What is second-glue? You could answer in German if you want, I would be grateful.

By the way, it should be "size", not "great". Falls du "Grösse" meintest, heisst das ;)

Clever. I don't really care for those bases but they seem easy to make and look pretty good. Do you pin the miniatures on long wires which reach to the plastic base? Also, if anyone wants to make these but can't find cork tile anywhere, you can sometimes get cheap cork coasters (like at IKEA) which are similar thickness etc.

Good ideas. This will help if you are looking for a simple easy to do base that looks great. I like the final product but I had to read it twice to understand. other than the languge, its great

I did this ever since they presented this technique in their catalogue ;) I like it a lot though I havent found a cork simmilar to theirs. It looks more like real stones when you break it - The cork that you can get over here is pressed together so tightly that you cant really break out those little "rocks" that's why it's a bit limiting and you need to cut some pieces off to make it look more realistic. But none the less I can only say it again: I like it a lot :)

Tolle Sache!
A great article, very usefull indeed, I was always looking for some alternatives to simple sandy bases! I´s true there are a couple of funny parts due to the language, but hell, we all got it, didn´t we!

Great article and the final product is great too. How would you go about securing the model to the base? I don't think I'd trust gluing a heavy model to cork. Pinning maybe.....maybe a better way?

Thanks a million. Just what I needed. I liked these stone bases but I could never find out how there were made. I tried it now too. I didn't have cork tiles but I find out some corks that are used in wine bottles when sliced into disks can be used and broken in the same way. A bit restrictive size wise, but cheep and easy to get.
