Color for figure bases? Your opinion counts...

QUOTE: Originally posted by ajlafleche Make it special. Go to Michaels or AC Moore and pick up a wooden block or small decoupage plaque. ($.50 to $1.29). Get some Celluclay and some turf or static grass from the hobby shop. Stain the wood and apply a thin layer of Cellucliy with brown acrylic paint mixed in. Apply the turf or grass. When dry, drill a hole where you want your guy to be. Use a thin brass rod superglued or epoxied into your figure's foot and superglue or epoxy him to the base. I don't know of a single figure painter who doesn't do something aloong these lines.

Now there's an idea! And it'd certainly be a bit more interesting than the plain plastic bases. Thanks for the suggestion!
