    When you have a figure worth showing, it deserves a base of the same caliber. Here's a short tutorial to help you make bases for your models easily and simply.

    The bases in this tutorial are mainly aimed at gaming models, but the techniques used are the same as for more elaborate bases.

    Good viewing...

For the “green” plants, it's what seems to be called "Erica moss". Also found in model shops, but it seems harder to find.
