Hello!
Semi-mostly new to minis painting. My more experienced parter suggests we need / want cork for basing.
So I turn again to the experts- Where do I acquire such cork? He sources say, "aquarium supplies", but when I check, they seem pricy (online).
Besides wine (har har), what's your source for cork?

they sell sheets at the dollar store, it's all I use... right thickness and you get two big sheets for around $2

If you don't mind my asking, what types of basing is the cork used for?

It can mainly be used for a rocky-type base or even a cracked ashfault (see LizardTau's Iron Hands)
It could potentially work as a desert/salt plains if painted correctly I think

Depending on the size of model, the dollar store also stocks cork hot mats that are thicker and can be crumbled to make larger "rocks". Run $1.25 - $2 for two. And yeah, we aren't exactly shy about either sharing or speaking up around here. |
