Hello guys, I figured posting this simple tutorial in my blog. I posted this topic last August 2009 in Zero G, my home forum...The bases you could buy for your gundam kits is a bit expensive for me, plus before... Bandai only produces simple bases, unlike now they have the Zeon logos and such as bases...which looks really cool. Anyways, here is a simple tutorial on how I create simple and cheap bases for my gunpla...

Materials you'll be needing...

- piece of wood for the base
- super glue
- epoxy clay
- rod ( clear acrylic, copper rod or stainless rod )
- real sand
- Elmer's wood glue / white glue
- Tamiya enamel paints
- ZIPPO lighter fluid ( cheap thinner for enamel paints )
- cheap acrylic paints used by students( Reeves and such )

The tutorial is in my blog...please do visit if you have the time, thanks! HERE is the link:
