The Sea Peoples: A final basing session

Almost the last thing I had to do to complete the Bronze age collection was a basing.  I have a phobia of static grass, since I am quite convinced that breathing it in is deadly.  This means that I am very much old school, and prefer flock.  For the Sea Peoples it was to be Javis "sand" coloured flock (well, brown ok?) over a dusting of real Cyprus sand collected nearby.  
The completed Sea Peoples and Canaanites.

Sand is one thing there is a lot of here, but even so this was a lot of figures!

I then wet this down with a 50/50 PVA and water mix.  

It sets like concrete.


So this is very much a before and after set of photographs.  The dipping is still to do of course, and during that process some of the dip runs into the base to give a darker more lived in look to the ground texture.  
By Vectron's Over-Mighty Sporran, they are numerous!
