Great thread Pogre. You are a prolific painter at a high quality too. Any tips on removing "broccoli" bases from Reaper Bones miniatures? Are you just sawing them off in one pass with a fine tooth saw?

First, thank you.

The Reaper bases drive me crazy. I usually snip around them with nippers. Then I saw the rest off and sand the remainder. If you have a better method - I would sure love to read it! A lot of times I will cut the base down and just incorporate it into my base with green stuff.

Here's an example, albeit a sloppy one, of an incorporated base:

Belt sander w/ 100 grit upside down in a vice makes short work of reaper broccoli bases. Just take your time. Or you could get an el cheapo dedicated setup from Harbor Freight like this: http://www.harborfreight.com/1-in-x-30-in-belt-sander-60543.html

Some guys use dremel cut off wheels and the sanding attachments but there is nothing better for getting a nice flat bottom of the feet then a belt sander. I first heard about it from this guy on the Reaper forums: http://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/47423-removing-bases-tutorial/

I'm hip-deep in football right now, but I have been doing a touch of painting to relax. I will have some stuff to put up in November for sure if not before. I am no longer taking commissions - I cannot even get my own stuff painted these days

My web service is down for the foreseeable future. I may put it up at some point. However, I have started a new blog with lots of pictures of what I am working on:

I finally finished the blacksmith shop model I have had for a while. The blacksmith model was made by Novus Design and was a decent model to paint. Forgive the quality of the pictures – I could not get the lighting correct.
