    Thanks

    Tbh I would pick up thin plastic rod and build the base out of that. Just use small boobs of green stuff to sculpt the binding between them. Using a pin to make the blob into separate strands of rope.

    Or you could try sushi rolling mats.. I found some at Big Lots (a discount retail chain near my house) for about 5$ each. You can make a ton of 30, 40, and 50mm bases with just one of them.

    All of these are great suggestions on how to do this (though the Sushi mat method might be a bit expensive). I prefer the skewers rather than tooth picks since they are a bit thicker.

    If you can find it Games Workshop had a great toot in the Lustria book on creating faux bamboo ridges with just paint, other wise you can use these ones,

    Warcast Studios

    Or you could ask Minky if he has any more of these ones here

    Or use this toot here which is pretty amazing actually.

    Hope that helps a bit.

    Last time I was at the flgs, we still had 3-4 packs of Minky's bases. Check with him directly, but failing that, we can definitely get some to you from the shop if you'd like!
