Basing Kits

Basing is just that: material used to create a base layer for a model railway, wargame landscape or diorama. It is typically composed of a combination of natural materials and organic fibres as well as sand and gravel bits of various sizes, shapes and colours. Our Model Basing Kits add an air of believability to your model landscape regardless of its size and complexity.
 
Our Sand Miniature Basing Kit for instance is perfect for creating battleboards and railway landscapes by providing the necessary background details that are so crucial when it comes to replicating real environments. The basing material is also easy to apply by brushing some of the included modelling glue onto the appropriate area of the layout followed by the materials.
 
Let’s say you’re creating an Alpine railway environment. In that case, you’ll want one of our Snowy Mountain Top model basing kits. This is the perfect kit for creating realistic Alpine landscapes as it provides snow scatter for creating anything from a thin dusting to a thick snow pack complete with drifts, and even a spring environment with melting snow and the first shoots of new grass. Applying the material is a breeze. Just apply some Layering Spray and then adhere the scatter or other material.
