Masterclass: Basing - Destroyed Cathedral

Basing is a very important part when it comes to miniature painting. A proper display base is the stage to tell a good story and to present your models. Creating a beautiful display base means more than just glueing material together. It is about balance, harmony and compostion rules. You can learn all this in my Masterclass Basing.

The topic of this Masterclass Basing is "Destroyed Cathedral" and Roman will guide you through your creation of an epic 
display base where you learn to scratchbuild everything you need. The attached example is exactly what we will build, your version might differ of course.
The workshop is seperated in theory, building the base and painting it. Painting is the part that will not be finished in the workshop.

All material, tools and everything you need is provided by the teacher.
You just need to bring your own brushes, wet palettes and superglue.
