new bases covering thoughts

 My metal base stands have been paper covered for the  most part

I began experimenting with teddy bear fur a few years ago with the ECW troops, as I wanted the grassy look to have more impact with the smaller units.

Now I am experimenting again, this time with a view to re-covering all of the stands in a camouflage version of the teddy bear fur.

the fur is just pinned on at this stage


the basic concept is to put a sewn 'dart' on each corner of the fur so that it will fit more snug over the metal base stands, as the fur material tends to 'pull up' from the stands otherwise.

the first run of these may be done in a few days and more testing will see if it works the way I want it to...
