Here's a painted version.



Painted dark blue, then highlighted with a mixture of metallic blue and green. It needs much more contrast to work properly: a darker wash into the cracks would have helped. But it convinced me it was the way to go. In some of the review images you can probably see that for a few bases I cut strips off and turned them over to make a solid block. Going to paint those gold.

The biggest problem with plasticard is that it doesn't cut into neat rounds. I cut mine square and filed the edges off and they're really uneven. Doesn't show much when they're painted but that's not the point. Someone on SU & SD suggested using as plastic punch which is a great idea except you'd need one for every exact base size in the game, which seems unlikely.


Matt, i think your base looks great. To maybe worry about cutting a circle less, maybe purposely cut the plastic less than the size of the base? Let the edges be sort of like broken flooring? Maybe I'm not explaining well...

Glad you like it. You're making perfect sense: it's a great idea, but a bit late for me. For any other aspiring Silver Tower basers, though, it seems like great advice. You could leave the uncovered areas black or paint them gold to match the Tower flooring. Textured plasticard is cheap, so cutting irregular shapes out for the bases seems the easiest and least expensive way to get a quality base effect.
