I'm stuck in my ways of basing 6mm minis the same way I do 28mm, assemble stands of minis, glue sand to base, water down pva and add detergent to seal the sand down once dry, undercoat model, paint base before anything else (all that drybrushing is messy as hell) then paint the models afterwards...
...I've seen pics of people gluing models to lollipop sticks so I'm interested in finding out how other people base (and to a degree, paint) their 6mm models, do you paint on the sprue and base afterwards? what basing materials do you use? If you use something like sand, how do you go about painting it without ruining the paint job on the models themselves? Do you just use flock / static grass and if so, what brands / colours? How do you avoid making your minis look like they're knee deep in basing materials?
And most important of all... do you have example pics of your methods?
edit: not to mention how limiting my current methods are, I like to undercoat in black with all that basing material already glued down... who wants to re-paint basing material over a white undercoat? eurgh!
